“Walk With Muthukad; Change lives thru BMCF” Fundraising Appeal by Aidan Tijo

Hello everyone, my name is Aidan, son of Tijo Sebastian and Liji Tijo. I am a Year 9 student at UTC Pride Park in Derby. I have always believed that even small steps can make a big difference. Recently, I took part in a 3-mile charity walk to raise funds for CAFOD, which made me realise how powerful collective efforts can be in bringing positive change. Today, I am proud to join the BMCF Charity Walk with Muthukad sir, as part of my continued commitment to supporting good causes. For me, this walk is not only about completing a distance, but also about spreading the message of compassion, kindness, and the importance of giving back to society. Apart from charity, I also enjoy participating in cultural activities. I had the opportunity to perform a dance along with my sister and cousin at the British Malayali Award Night, which was a memorable experience. I hope my small efforts will inspire my friends and peers to come forward and support charitable initiatives, because together, we can truly make a big difference. On Sunday 19th October 2025, the suburbs of Leicestershire will come alive with the power of unity, compassion and magic as Gopinath Muthukad – world-renowned magician turned humanitarian – leads a heartwarming initiative to transform the lives of children with disabilities. Through “Walk with Muthukad – Change Lives thru BMCF” & "BMCF M'Cube Magic Moments"we aim to raise crucial funds for the International Institute for Children with Disabilities at Kasaragod, Kerala, India – a world-class centre offering care, education and empowerment to differently-abled children. The participants get an ample opportunity to walk and chat with a reputed and well-known magician Mr. Gopinath Muthukad at 11 AM at Beacon Hill Park, Leicester along with the great participation to raise funds for a noble cause The walk trails through the park will be for around an hour. "BMCF M'Cube Magic Moments" The charity walk in the morning sets the tone for a day dedicated to hope, culminating in the grand evening of magic moments with Muthukad at Prajapati Hall, Leicester blending magic, music, and motivation at 4 PM.
