Join thousands of allies building an inclusive world through sport.

In 2025-26, people with and without disabilities ran, trekked, camped, cycled, and climbed together. Across five states. 42 times.
Figures from the ABBF Annual Impact Report 2025-26 (opens in a new tab).
“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”
Stigma, judgement, invisibility. Persons with disabilities have faced these for centuries. And yet, in this most modern of ages, their exclusion from mainstream life still comes as news to many.
Fortunately, this story can be rewritten. Especially if more allies like you join us in our journey to bring lasting change in the form of disability inclusion. In the form of a global community that is at once emboldened, energetic, and empathetic.
And what better way to encourage this sense of community than sport! Sport brings people together, no matter their age, race, religion, or physical ability. It creates bonds between persons with and without disabilities. It is not a one-and-done event. It is an experience that stays with you forever.
From climbing mountains to running marathons. From rappelling to scuba diving. From tandem cycling to paragliding. We've organised thousands of inclusive sporting experiences, as varied as the people taking part.
In 2024 alone, ABBF and our allies raised funds to help underprivileged children across the country walk for the first time in their lives.
We've brought thousands of persons with disabilities and able-bodied persons together to change attitudes and break barriers. We've helped corporate organisations generate thousands of volunteer hours through inclusive CSR activities that build a stronger inclusive culture. These efforts have brought us awards from many distinguished organisations. But the greatest reward continues to be the empowerment of people who have been marginalised for too long.

Getting paired with Vikas as an ally and running the 10K: I basically slowed him down! Thank you ABBF for the opportunity of a lifetime. I hope to be back next year. Thank you Vikas. It was an honour to run with you.

This was a special day as I got to run with ABBF to make this marathon an Inclusion Run. I ran with Shivanand sir who is Partially sighted and Bhaskar Ramesh sir who was his ally. It is inspiring to see runners with disability competing in a marathon where many people don't even think of participating.

Participating in yesterday's 10K Tata Mumbai Marathon with Vinod was a big eyeopener for me and the best race of my life. It was all about inclusion and about finding a different way to participate in the things you want to do.

Running for a cause is not just about crossing the finish line, it's about crossing the barriers that stand in the way of a better world. Thank you to everyone who supported me and this important cause. Let's continue to strive for a more inclusive world, one step at a time.

A few of the organisations walking with us towards an equitable, empathetic, open world.
We've run across cities, climbed mountains, scuba dived, tandem cycled through snow, and so much more. Words cannot explain what we've felt through these years. But this short film might.
There are dozens of ways we can work together to demolish the stereotypes and stigma that surround persons with disability. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Whether you've dreamed of the rush of wind while paragliding, exploring underwater worlds through scuba diving, or conquering mountain trails, we're here to make it happen. Or take your place at the start line of India's biggest marathons, with corporate leaders running alongside you.
Imagine guiding a visually impaired person along a trekking trail, or helping someone feel the thrill of paragliding for the first time. You'll come back changed, and with friends you didn't have before.
Your team runs alongside persons with disabilities at India's biggest marathons, or works in tandem during trekking, camping, paragliding and cycling. Over 50 organisations have partnered with us, from Cisco and JP Morgan to Godrej and Volkswagen.
