Halfway there...

... both in miles and money!

This blog post is overdue by about two weeks. On Saturday (Sept. 4th) I made it to the 13 mile mark in my long run. Now to double that!

I also have passed the halfway point in raising money- almost at $1,600. Thanks to Sanjiv (my cousin in Seattle) and Sunil (my dad's college friend). You guys rock!

If you still haven't donated, now's the time!

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!
