In this busy life, we sometimes forget to care for ourselves. Same was with me, with very less physical activities and filled with excuses. I would never run, until there was a dog behind me and breathe heavily even after a normal walk.It was exactly a year back, when I started running.Inspirations from my husband and many of the ASHA runners has kept me going.
Gradually, running, which was once a pain in my life , has become a joy of my life. I have made a choice to make my run more contented by running for a cause. So,I am doing my first half marathon with Asha, for the education of underprivileged children in India. The goal of this non-profit organisation is to lift people out of poverty by empowering them through education .
Education is an important factor for development and we all know that, it is not affordable to lot many out there. Let’s use this opportunity to bring a change in one’s life. Please choose Asha as your charity of choice this year, and support the cause as well as support my run. Your contribution is an important motivator for me to go farther and faster! No amount is too small.
