Cyclists from across the country will take part in the third edition of the 'Infinity Ride' to be held from August 9 to 15 to raise funds for specially-abled athletes.

"Hundreds of cyclists from the country as well as from abroad will participate in the 'Infinity Ride' from Hyderabad to Tirupati via Amravathi, a route which is close to about 722 kilometres, from August 9 to 15 to raise funds," said para cyclist Aditya Mehta, founder of the Aditya Mehta Foundation (AMF), who announced the launch of Infinity Ride here today.

The ride aims to not only support with top class equipments for para athletes but also to extend them healthcare and coaching facilities in their quest to become international champions, said Mehta, who himself will also be cycling and accompany the riders all through the journey.
 

The additional aim is to raise awareness about sport among not only the specially-abled athletes but also people in general, he said in a release adding AMF has been working very closely with the various wings of the Armed Forces to counsel, find, nurture and support the talents and transform them into para athletes.

The fund that will be generated through the fund-raiser will be used for the well-being and the training purposes to be able to compete at the global level, added Mehta.
