Solan, July 12

National cricket hero Yuvraj Singh’s two fans from Kerala reached Shoolini University on a bike to create awareness about his foundation’s mission of facilitating 1,000 beds to fight Covid.

The riders — Ashkar and Safeer — kick-started their journey on July 5 and are slated to go to Leh. The duo hail from Kerala and have self-funded the whole tour and the awareness programme.

Ashkar works as a promoter of Panasonic in Dubai and is on vacation in India. He decided to utilise his leisure time to thank doctors and volunteers who have been supporting Yuvraj Singh’s YouWECan foundation. They have also registered an organisation “Youweians Kerala”. Travelling across various states, was a lifetime experience, said Safeer.

Shoolini University’s YouWeCan volunteers welcomed them at the university for an interaction and also extended their support to their campaign. The two bikers briefed the volunteers about the initiative taken by Yuvraj Singh foundation across the country to fight Covid and other medical emergencies. As of now, 470 beds have been installed across the country and Rohru and Theog in HP will have a share of 10 beds.
