A very dear friend of mine (Shweta Mudgal) is running the Marine Corps marathon in Washington DC on October 29th. She has been training now for almost 30 weeks and even took part in the NYC half marathon. Of course the main reason for part-taking in these events is her social cause of raising money for educating under-privileged children in India on behalf of an institution called ASHA (http://www.ashanet.org/nycnj/); a Non-Profit organization that works towards this cause.
She has pledged to raise $100 for every mile she runs ($2600 in all for the marathon) and I would really appreciate any donations towards this noble and worthy cause. Please donate via the link below. Remember, even $10 is enough (but $50 would be really nice!) to educate a child for one whole month, so please be generous and of course all donations are completely tax-deductible.
Here's the link where you can make your credit card donations:
