Sponsor Andrea's "Run for a dream" - a dream to make a difference

Dear Friends,

I am currently training to run my first half marathon, the Philadelphia Distance Run Half Marathon, on September 16, 2007. Running a marathon is something I never thought I could do, and I hope reaching the finish line teaches my daughter that anything is possible if you are determined and work hard enough!

Along with achieving a personal goal, I hope to be able to help make a difference for a very worthy cause, Lend-A-Hand-India. The money I raise will go toward providing vocational training and career counseling to hundreds of deserving boys and girls from poor communities in India, generating employment opportunities for them and their families. My goal is to raise $1,300, which is $100 for every mile I run.

You can help by sponsoring me online through PayPal (click on the button below, no PayPal account required) or by check payable to "Lend-A-Hand India" on the address below. All the contributions made by you are tax-exempt and may be matched by your employer. Click here for a selected list of companies that match donations.

Thanks in advance for your generosity and support for a really great cause!

Andrea
