Education Fundraiser for Deepak's Daughters

Donation protected
Most of us from the Triangle area Know Deepak Musale, for his passion towards running and his friendly, soft spoken, humble and sincere demeanor. Deepak was employed full time with CREE as a Software Programmer living happily with a loving wife and adorable daughters in the beautiful Cary, NC. While life was going well, god had other plans. It came as a shock when he was diagnosed with  glioblastoma multiforme in July 2019, a highly aggressive brain cancer,  just out of nowhere. Deepak went thru a very complex surgery and bounced back within weeks to his usual active life style, went on to complete several Full and Half Marathons including New York City Marathon.Deepak has been extremely resilient since this diagnosis and has diverted his attention into running and helped train large group of adults and middle school kids transition to active life style and enable them achieve their first 5k, Half Marathons and Full Marathons. 

While things appeared completely normal, he bumped into a recurrence early this spring and Deepak had to go thru second surgery. Since March 2020 Deepak very bravely fought the battle, but unfortunately Deepak’s battle came to an end early this morning (September 8th 2020) around 12.45 AM.

Deepak leaves behind very young family, Wife Renu Musale, two adorable daughters Tanvi (Grade 12) & Jahnavi (Grade 10).  The family is also going thru major uncertainty about their immigration status, with Deepak was on H1 and his wife and  daughters were on H4 dependent Visa and the entire family future is in dilemma now.  Renu, Tanvi and Jahnvani also face very uncertain financial future since Deepak was the sole bread winner and none of them are eligible to be employed in the near future. Under these extraordinary circumstances, please help the family overcome this irreplaceable loss and to support with their schooling and further education expenses by contributing to his go fund drive. Please donate generously and more importantly help us with reaching out with larger audience by forwarding to as many groups / contacts you can.

Deepak has touched so many lives in his short journey and left a huge positive influence within the community. He has been an huge inspiration to many and here are some of his achievements and contributions to the society:

• Deepak has personally ran over 30 half Marathons and 10 Full Marathons

• As a part of “WeStrive”, Deepak has trained over 50+ middle school kids to their very first 5k race in 2019

• Deepak mentored / helped large group of adults to their first ever 5k, Half Marathon or Full Marathons
