Sponsor Chendur's "Run for a dream"
- a dream to make a difference
Dear Friends,
"Can I run a Marathon...?"...Sometimes I used to wonder about my
ability to do so untill I met the enthuthiastic Lend a Hand India
(www.lend-a-hand-india.org) team in Central
Park. I decided to run a half marathon initially but later decided
commit myself to run a full marathon for a cause.... Having worked
with several NGO's in Bangalore and also being a passionate photographer
I had done some photoshoots for their PR and Brochures apart from
visiting remote villages in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to do various
studies ( Photos from my Ngo activities in India -

I got to know about Lend a Hand India from my friend and decided
that I would run a marathon for them raising funds for their activities
in India. I have kept a target to raise $100/mile run i.e totalling
$2600 for the 26 miles I am planning to run. The funds will go towards
various programs of Lend A Hand India
(www.lend-a-hand-india.org/programs.php).
Your donation will make a difference to hundreds of kids belonging
to poor communities in helping them to secure employment and becoming
self sustainable. You can make a difference to lives.... You can
play your part in making this world a better place ...
