Most people believe cancer is India's biggest killer. It is not. Heart attacks are the #1 cause of death, in India and worldwide. And here's the paradox: up to 90% of heart attacks are preventable.
Despite being the world's #1 killer, heart attacks receive a fraction of the awareness dedicated to other diseases. We are here to change that — through every run, every screening, every life we rehabilitate.
Community screenings to identify people at risk — those with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, sleep apnoea or family history — before a heart attack strikes.
We have conducted 22+ workshops across corporates and housing societies, reaching 550+ people with life-saving knowledge about preventing early heart attacks.
India's first advanced Cardiac Rehab centre — physician-supervised, exercise-based programs that strengthen hearts, prevent recurrence and restore confidence to live fully.
The Cardiac Rehab Run brings together survivors, supporters and the community to make heart health visible, vocal and unstoppable.
Cardiac Rehabilitation is a WHO Class 1A recommended program — the highest possible evidence level — proven to strengthen hearts, prevent repeat attacks, and save lives. Yet in India, it is practically zero.
90% of heart attacks are preventable with proper awareness and cardiac rehabilitation. The Cardiac Rehab Foundation is India's first and only advanced Cardiac Rehab centre — physician-supervised, exercise-based, and life-changing.
About the Foundation“I had Heart Failure after a Heart Attack. My heart pumping capacity was reduced and I often had breathlessness doing small activities. Recently I completed a 42km Full Marathon and my heart is much stronger now.”
“After my Heart Attack and Angioplasty, I was fearful about my future and my family. But today I am a runner and have completed around 60 runs in the last 2 years.”
“I had a weak heart and was advised a Heart Transplant. This news shattered me mentally and physically. But today I play recreational sports and run often. Now I have the confidence to live long.”
The second edition brought together over a thousand runners, survivors and supporters united by one purpose — to raise awareness for cardiac health. From heart attack survivors completing their first 5K to seasoned runners tackling the 21K, every finisher carried the message that a heart attack is not the end of an active life.
Sunday, 13 September 2026, starting 5:00 AM, at Sanjeevaiah Park & Necklace Road, Hyderabad.
Six categories: 21K Half Marathon (chip-timed), 16K (chip-timed), 10K (chip-timed), 8K, 5K Fun Run, and 2K Walk — open to all fitness levels.
