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

Hello Friends,

As some of you know, I am training to run a marathon in Philadelphia in mid November. Yes, that is 26.2 miles!!! The inspiration for this endeavor actually came from the organization that I am running for - Lend a Hand India (www.lend-a-hand-india.org).

Their focus is to provide vocational training and job skills to the 440 Million people living in poverty. In my travels in India, I have witnessed the children that are living in slum areas and rural areas and I have been touched by what a difference any education or job skill training can make in their lives and the lives of others in their family, in their community, etc.

I have known the founders of the organization for many years and their dedication and perseverance to turn a simple idea into an amazing opportunity that is touching so many lives has been truly inspiring.

So, I ask you to support me in this meaningful opportunity to impact lives, achieve dreams, and contribute to something that is really making a difference!

If you have any questions or want to learn more, please let me know! Feel free to forward to other friends that also have a charitable heart :>)
