I have always had an interest in cerebral palsy ever since the birth of my brother Adam. Like millions of children around the world, Adam was born with brain damage, which would have him, face a life time of severe disability for which there is no hope. As my mother and I began the world wide search for treatments and care, we began to realize that there are many people who offer treatment that are not valid and others that have unique treatment that can improve functions.

Unfortunately the reality is that there is no cure. As we struggled in our quest we realized that we were not alone and that millions of families around the world were suffering the same problem. This has become such a dramatic episode of my life that, I have focused my efforts on developing a foundation.  The aim of this foundation would be to bring together those elements, from traditional and non traditional medicines, which can improve the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy and other disabling conditions. With this in focus The ASHA Foundation was born. With support and guidance of co-founder Ramesh Vangal the Foundation was able to start in India in late 2001. Our sole purpose is to improve the quality of life of children and adults who otherwise would face a lifetime paralysis.
