Run for a Dream

The organization I've picked for my charity is Lend a Hand India (www.lend-a-hand-india.org). They are New York based but do their work at different places in India. Their mission is to create better access to education, vocational training, career development, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. You can actually go check out any of their worksites to see what they're doing and even lend a helping hand.

Your donation will be tax-deductible and any amount is appreciated. The website to go to for donations is www.runforadream.kintera.org/nyfull2010 and then search for Sonia Sharan. Thanks to everyone who has already supported my cause!

What is this all about?

I am running the New York Marathon November 7, 2010. I need to raise $2,620 for Lend A Hand India this summer. So far I'm almost at $800.00 so we're off to a great start! This blog should help you guys keep me on track with my training and fundraising efforts.
