Among the thousands that ran the Mumbai marathon on January 15, 2006 was one motley group of college students and team members of Population First. The Population First team comprised of Mr. Bobby Sista, Dr. A.L. Sharada, Ms. Pradnya Shinde, Ms. Preeti Gopalkrishnan, Mr. Samir Salvi, Mr. Devidas Shinde, Ms. Karin Haegg and Ms. Ragnhild Segerberg. Around 40 students of the B.D. Somani Institute of Arts and Fashion Technology, including two professors supported the Laadli campaign by running the dream run of 7 km. The students ran wearing Tata Sons' sponsored Laadli t-shirts and caps and waved Laadli flags that carried the slogans - 'My Laadli, my pride', 'Cheer for Laadli', 'She'll be there for you' and 'I love my Laadli'.

Collectively Rs. 50,000 was raised by the runners as pledges for the Laadli campaign. We thank all those who pledged funds to the campaign.
