Thank you for visiting my page. I am training to run the Kaveri Trail 10K race as part of Team Asha.

I started running about 2 months ago with the Runners High group. The goal is to move from being a couch potato with absolutely no running experience to be able to run a 10KM race at the Kaveri Trail.

I started running with no explicit goal in mind, I think I just wanted to see if I could run a decent distance - weight loss if any would have been a nice side effect. This has now changed, while I still run for myself, I now also run to help raise funds to educate underprivileged children. This I do by running as part of Team Asha's (http://team-asha.org/) Bangalore (http://www.ashanet.org/bangalore/marathon/) group. The idea is to get friends and family to sponsor part of my run - the money thus raised going entirely to fund Team Asha's India projects.

I am running 10KM and I am hoping to raise Rs 500 per KM for a total of Rs 5000. This amount will make a huge difference to the individual underprivileged children that Team Asha supports. The training for a 10K race is hard for a total beginner like me - knowing that you are improving the education & life of a child by sponsoring part of my run is immense motivation for me.

If you want to know more about Team Asha please visit http://www.ashanet.org/bangalore/marathon/ . If you wish to donate to Asha or sponsor part of my race please follow the links below. If you have any questions regarding the donations please visit the FAQ - there is no lower or upper :) limits that you can donate. All donations are tax-exempt.

Please contact me to sponsor my run and help me reach my fundraising target. Be sure to visit our blog for the latest about the team. Team Asha Blog. I will update the page to let you know how my race goes.

Thanks to 1 supporters who have helped me raise Rs.2000.
