This October, I will be running in the Marathon. As I train for my marathon I want to take this opportunity to give back to the children in India. I have decided to run the Memphis marathon to help raise funds for Asha. As a diabetic I started running to control my diabetes and soon running became my passion and I started running in races. From 5 k, I gradually graduated to running marathons. I have run several marathons and plan to run a marathon in each state. This time though I am running a marathon for a purpose. I plan to raise $ 2,600 ($ 100 per mile).
The projects I am raising funds for are
Hippocampus – It is organization which opens supplementary education centers in rural areas, and sets them up as woman owned business ventures, where the woman is also the teacher. The money I raise would help with setting up another center like this in a village.
Seed– This project aims to educate children of prisoners, terminally-ill patients, murder victims, and prostitutes. SEED provides board, lodging, clothing and education of 271 children in ages 3-18 years. They provide both standard education and vocational training.
There have been many success stories in this project and I hope by raising money Asha St. Louis can continue to support this noble venture.
My goal is to raise a minimum of $ 2600 ($100 a mile) for – Projects
I am proud to be part of an organization that is dedicated to educating the underprivileged children in India, and I hope that you too choose to support me by supporting Asha’s mission by donating.
Come join me and help me in making Hope a reality, contribute generously to give hope to a child in India.
