Thank you for visiting my runner page!

It all started in February this year (2011). One of my friend was pestering for a long time to join him at Nike Run Club on Saturdays and finally I decided to give it a try. I should say it is one of the best decisions I made.

Then I ran TCS World 10K in June and while running in this event I happen to see few other runners wearing T-shirts with Runner's High logo on them. I did some research and found that Runner's High is a team based out of Bangalore who conduct training programs specifically focussing on marathon events like Kavery Trial Marathon, Bangalore Ultra, TCS10K, etc. So I joined them in June to continue my training on running and I came across a NGO called 'Team Asha' with which Runner's High team is associated.

Then onwards, I decided to run for two reasons:

1) To be healthy, live & believe positive
2) To raise funds to Asha which supports education for underprivileged children

So the first one is for self and the second one is for the society

So far I completed three official races this year, all in 10K category and now I am planning to run two more races:

Bangalore Ultra - 12.5 K in November 2011
Auroville - 21 K in February 2012

My target is to raise Rs. 500/km in the next two races - Rs. 17000 in total. I request your help to meet my target and I know that I can depend on you. There is no limit on the amount, maximum OR minimum and all donations are exempt from IT under section 80-G.

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

You can use the links below to make the payment. Asha will send a receipt towards the payment that you make.

Thanks to 11 supporters who have helped me raise Rs.9500 towards my goal of Rs.17,000
