“Walk with Muthukad – Change Lives thru BMCF” fundraising apepal by Edwin Sabu

Hi friends, I’m Edwin Sabu, 14 years old, and I live in Manchester. I’m a student at St Ambrose College, and I’ve been living in the UK my whole life. I come from a close-knit family — my dad, Sabu Chundakattil, is the Chairman of BMCF and runs his own business, my mum Smitha Sabu is a nurse, and my brother Noel Sabu also studies at St Ambrose College. My roots are in Kottayam, Kerala, and though I was born and brought up here, I feel deeply connected to the causes that matter to our wider community — especially those back home. I’ve taken part in sponsored walks at school, and I’m also involved in a school committee focused on tackling homelessness. This year, our work was recognised at a high level, and we had the honour of welcoming Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner to our school to discuss the change we’re trying to create. I’ve also had my work published in a book titled Mission Catastrophe – Unexpected Heroes. Joining the BMCF charity walk is my way of raising awareness for those struggling with disabilities. I believe small actions can lead to big change — especially when we walk together. "Small steps taken together can lead to big change. Let’s walk for those who can’t. Let’s give voice to those who are unheard." I’m inspired by Mr. Gopinath Muthukad, a rare individual who turned his fame into a force for good. His compassion, especially for differently-abled children, is a lesson in using influence to uplift others. I also admire the work of BMCF, an organisation that stands out for its transparency, dedication, and genuine impact at the grassroots level. Knowing that every penny raised goes straight to the cause makes me proud to walk under their banner. Thank you for your support — together, we can change lives. 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. This is not just a show — it’s a movement of love and change. By supporting these initiatives, you directly contribute to building a future of dignity for hundreds of children society often overlooks. To mark this event as a very special occasion, British Malayali Charity Foundation has also decided to honour one of the local community charities in UK, as always has been doing, in their outstanding services being rendered to the needy people in the society.
