Sponsor Rachel's "Run for a dream"
- a dream to make a difference
Dear Friends,
I am very happy to be a part of Lend-a-hand-India's efforts. They
are an amazing organization that provides vocational training, educational
assistance, and small loans to young people in India from extremely
difficult circumstances. I have been so lucky in my life circumstances
not to have had to worry about educational opportunities, not to
mention basic needs. Both are things that everyone deserves.
I am currently participating in "Run
for a Dream" a fundraising and marathon/half-marathon training
program to benefit Lend-a-hand-India. Before joining this team,
I had never run more than 3 miles, and certainly could never have
pictured myself as a runner. It's been very exciting to work and
improve at something I never thought I would be able to do, and
to develop from the guidance and support from the coach and running
mentors. This week, I completed a 6-mile run, which is almost half
way to my half-marathon goal on September 9th. It is powerful to
feel how far I can go with this support, and to feel as though this
inspiration is tied to Lend-a-hand-India.
Please check out the organization's website
to hear about their wonderful projects and the difference they are
making in the lives of many individuals and their families. If you
can, please consider sponsoring me to run in the half-marathon.
It's easy to contribute, and your support is very much appreciated,
by me, by Lend-a-hand-India, and by everyone who benefits from the
program.
All contributions you make are tax-exempt.
Please note that most corporations will match your donation! You

Thank you!!!
Rachel
