Hi Everyone, The first Challenge I intend to take up in 2016 is to run the Dream Run at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon. Even while others look to achieving their fitness goals by doing the Full/Half Marathons this is my attempt to stay fit and healthy. The other more important challenge is to raise funds for the NGO I work with and that I am running for– Karunya Trust. I have been associated with this organization for the last couple of months. This is an actual grassroots NGO that goes out to the needy and helps them. The Gyaansaathi project for rag picker children in Govandi is special to me not only because these children have found a special place in my heart but because they are bright, eager and show immense potential. The staff and volunteers of Karunya Trust are actually helping these people and making a difference in their lives and this is something I experience week after week while working with them. Karunya Trust is a small efficient organization and I know that the money I collect for them will not get lost in overheads . I appeal to you to wholeheartedly contribute to this noble cause and help Karunya trust in their mission to provide a helping hand to the needy.
