Swapnil Joshi runs for the spirit of Mumbai

Swapnil Joshi the popular actor and comedian is all set to take part in the Mumbai Marathon 2010 which is to be held on 17th January in Mumbai.

The actor had always been fascinated by watching such Marathons on Television. "I always watched Mumbai Marathon on Television, and it has been splendid. Though I have always wanted to take part, I being normal actor didn't have the basic fitness level to run such a Marathon. But I made up my mind few months back and underwent vigorous physical training to run this race this year. My Motivation to do something for the city I love pushed me further," he says with a gusto.

Swapnil has decided to run Marathon for two major causes. He says,"I am running on behalf of an NGO organization Samparc which works for the betterment of underprivileged children. The other cause is that I wanted to run to uphold the spirit of Mumbai."

Swapnil will be running the Marathon for 7 km. On asked how he is feeling a day before the D- Day he quips, "I am a little nervous. But I hope to put experience that I have got in my two month training in action tomorrow."

Tellybuzz lends its support to all the Mumbaiites who will be running the Marathon tomorrow.
