"It is a matter of great joy for me that we are back with the Infinity Ride. The ride had started off as a dream; something that I thought could ever turn into reality," said Mehta, founder of the Aditya Mehta Foundation (AMF), who announced the launch of the event here.

"But now, standing here in its third edition, it not only gives me pleasure but also fills me up with confidence to drive the initiative forward for helping my fellow para-athletes," he added.

Mehta said the initiative aims not only at supporting para-athletes with top class equipments but also at extending healthcare and coaching facilities to them in their quest to become international champions.

The initiatve will witness cyclists ride from Hyderabad to Tirupati via Amravati, a route which is close to about 722 km, from August 9 to 15 to raise funds.
