Run For Grace, Screen For Life!
In a world where every step can inspire hope, Navodayans across the globe are preparing to run together on October 12th, 2025, for a cause that touches countless lives. The Global Grace Cancer Run, founded by our very own Navodayan, Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli (JNV Shivamogga, Karnataka, 1986–1993 batch), is more than just a marathon — it’s a movement for humanity.
The Vision Behind the Run
Dr. Chinnababu, Founder & CEO of the Grace Cancer Foundation, has dedicated his life to fighting cancer through awareness, prevention, and accessible healthcare. Under his leadership, the foundation has already created history and today it continues to expand its impact by bringing together people from 130+ nations worldwide.
For every participant, the run isn’t just about fitness — it directly contributes to cancer screenings in rural India, offering free check-ups to those who need them the most.
