I participated in the Mumbai Marathon on the 18th of Jan '15. I completed the marathon (42.195 kms) achieving a time of under 6 hrs.
You may be aware, the Mumbai Marathon is India's biggest charity platform too.
This year I am raising donations for three NGOs,
1) Children Toy Foundation : CTF aims to educate Children beyond reading and writing, to help them acquire real skill, develop positive attitudes, to instill a sense of pride and to encourage them to interact confidently with their environment.
2) Cancer Patients Aid Association: Provides service to needy cancer patients from all over India.
3) Ummeed Child Development Centre: Ummeed helps children with or at risk Developmental Disabilities, reach their full potential and be included in society.
I humbly request you to contribute to support this cause.
Remember, every little bit matters.
Note:
United Way Mumbai (UWM) is the charity partner for the event and facilitates fund & friend raising for deserving charities though the event.
100% of your donation will be sent to the charity, UWM will absorb all online costs for the same.
For Indian residents, all donations above Rs 100 are eligible for 80G tax exemption.
