Last December I set myself the goal of running at least 10 10Ks in 2011. I want to raise £1,000 for a small charity I am a trustee of which is doing great things in India. The Gen Initiative (www.gen-initiative.org) is working through a local partner to help the Meo tribal people in Rajasthan. We run eye camps, literacy and training classes for young women and assist in husbandry to enable self-suffciency for disadvantaged villagers. Last year we changed the lives of people in five villages; now we want to help 10 villages and expand our activities.
So how am I doing? By end of June I had done eight runs. Now I am upping the challenge to 12 runs including a half marathon. I need more support, so dig in and keep me motivated!
