I've decided to try and attempt something I haven't done before. Run 25kms. And in the process, I'm hoping to raise money to contribute towards projects run by Asha for Education, Bangalore a volunteer driven organization that runs schools and projects aimed at education for underprivileged children.

I'll be running 25kms on Nov 13th, at the Bangalore Ultra. And since you're here and reading this, I think you'll identify with the cause, and hope you'll contribute generously! With the help of well- meaning friends and family like you, I'm aiming to raise at least thousand rupees per kilometre - i.e. 25 thousand in all. If you think you can chip in and help me with my effort, please let me know - you'll earn my undying gratitude (and a lot more - see below). You can contribute whatever amount you'd like to - the 'how much' part doesn't matter. You'd support the cause, as well as make me run for your money's worth!

Having known volunteers at Asha personally, I can assure you that 100% of your donations will be utilised to support Asha projects. All donations will go directly to the Asha for Education fund and are exempted from Income Tax under Section 80G.
If you'd like to contribute, please see below for details on how you can. Either way, please send a thought my way, as I gear up for my longest run attempt yet!

Yes, I'd like to contribute. How can I? You can chip in via cash, cheque or credit card (international only) - please see the sponsor section below for details and FAQ. Let me know and I can also come visit you to collect your contribution! I'm contributing. What do I get in return? Bi-weekly updates on how I'm progressing with training - at my blog Out Of Breath or over e-mail - as you'd like! Receipt for your contribution (which can save you tax) And of course, my undying gratitude! No, I'd rather not contribute right away Think about it - I'll ask you again a little later! I'm sure you're making the world a better place in your own ways. Please do send a good thought my way as I set out on this attempt! Let me know if you'd like to stay on my mailing list and see how I'm doing. An additional watchful eye will ensure I don't slack!

'Running has its highs', and I've found a fantastic bunch of folks to train with at Runner's high!
Drop me a mail if you'd like to know more, and I'll be happy to talk to you. Looking forward to your support! Thank you!

Thanks to 6 supporters who have helped me raise Rs.13000 towards my goal of Rs.25,000
