Walk With Muthukad; Change lives thru BMCF” Fundraising Appeal by Reji Thomas

Hello Friends, Hi, I am Reji Thomas, originally from Adoor, Pathanamthitta (Kerala), and currently living in Huntingdon, UK, where I run Essential Supermarket with branches in Huntingdon and Bedford. I am launching this fundraising effort to support the inspiring initiative: "Walk with Muthukad – Change Lives thru BMCF" & “BMCF M’Cube Magic Moments”, led by renowned magician and humanitarian Gopinath Muthukad. Funds raised will go to the International Institute for Children with Disabilities in Kasaragod, Kerala, which provides world-class care, therapy, and education for children with autism and other disabilities. Though I have always contributed to charity privately, this is my first public fundraising campaign, and I’m doing it with my family’s full support. My wife, Smitha Reji, is a part-time nurse at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, elder son, Ronis Reji, is 21 and studying Computer Programming in Cornwall, younger son, Rojis Reji, is 19 and studying Business Management in Nottingham. 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. 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. As such, British Malayali Charity Foundation will be giving an amount of £ 1,000.00 to Open Hands Leicester, one of the leading community charities from Leicester as a token of solidarity and gratitude in their relentless efforts in supporting many deserving people in and around Leicestershire. "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.
