Hi,

Thank you for visiting my page J

I am training to run the Kaveri Marathon and Bangalore Ultra as part of Team Asha. I’m really excited about running my 1^st half marathon (21 kms) on 18^th September 2011 and 25 kms on 13^th November 2011.

I have always enjoyed running but never attempted more than the 200mts distance. I heard about Runners High earlier this year and joined their training program. I couldn’t even run 1km at a stretch when I started, but thanks to Runners High I am on my way to running the 21k on the banks of the Kaveri.

Today, running has become an integral part of my life and I want to make it count! I’m passionate about the development sector and try my best to contribute in as many ways as I can. Team Asha gives me an opportunity to make a difference by doing what I enjoy – running.

I’m trying to raise money to make help Team Asha bring a positive change in the lives of the underprivileged in India. Asha is a zero-overhead, volunteer-driven organization that strongly believes that holistic education is critical for socio-economic change

My goal is to raise Rs. 500 for every km that I run at the Kaveri Trail. This is my first attempt at raising a fund through running, and I would be happy if you could support me achieve my goal, and encourage me to go run that further distance for Team Asha!!!

I can be reached on iffathmansoor@gmail.com. Be sure to visit our blog for the latest about the team: Team Asha Blog.

Thanks to 11 supporters who have helped me raise Rs.17750 towards my goal of Rs.23,000
