What is this about?
I will be running half marathon (21 km) organized by Hyderabad 10k on 30th Nov, 2008 and then Half marathon in Mumbai on 18th Jan 2009.
Please donate for the cause that I am running this marathon. My goal is to raise funds for Shradda for them to start a home for disabled. I have run and completed 21km half marathon organized by Hyderabad 10k on 16th Aug.
I have been getting self-trained for the coming marathon, endurance building and fund-raising program that readies participants for a successful marathon, a training schedule, workout guidance, and a lot of encouragement from my Asha Hyderabad co-volunteers and volunteers from Shradda.
How can you help?
Its easy: send money. I will do the work; I just need your support. I am seeking sponsorships from everyone I know, and even a few whom I don't. Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated, and will be combined with funds raised by other volunteers and contribute to Shradda.
My goal is to raise at least Rs. 50,000 by 31st Nov 2008, and I'd be delighted if I could raise more. I've personally contributed Rs. 1500, in addition to the 30 days of training, sweat and pain. Since the organization is just about to start the plan is to use all these donations only for the desired and needy. Brace yourself for the obligatory fund raising cliché (but remember that it's true): your contribution will make a difference.
Some suggestions:
Rs. 210 (Rs. 10 for every km I run)
Rs. 1050 (Rs. 50 for every km I run)
Rs. 2100 (Rs. 100 for every km I run)
