Running For A Good Cause
Fundraising for Pratham UK
Story
Hi Friend
Thank you for visiting my Fund Raising page.
On the 3rd of July, I will be running the British 10K London Run, to raise money for Pratham, a charity which provides pre-primary and primary education to poor and under-privileged children in India.
A quick overview about what Pratham is and what they do:
The Pratham Movement is an inspiring charity with one goal : Every child in India in school... and learning well... by 2010. It is an ambitious goal but with Pratham's clear strategy and vision , a unique and dedicated volunteer work force , initiatives from the Indian government and help from people like you and me , it can be made possible.
Also, because of the well-tested and efficient model which Pratham uses, they estimate that it only takes around Rs.500/USD 10/£7 to educate a child for one year. So, please dig deep and help as many children as you can. For more details, please visit : http://www.pratham.org A quick overview about this Run and how I plan to prepare for it : 10 KM ? That's not a lot, Anyone can do it. That's what I said to myself when I heard about this the first time.Well, after around 3 weeks of practise, I would punch anyone who would say that to me. Running for 10 Kilometres is not impossible, only difficult - specially for blokes like me who never played any sports and went to the gym fewer times than NASA has sent successful missions to the Moon. But in the last 3 weeks, my progress has been encouraging. Day 1 : 4 Kms and I was dead After Week 1 : 5 Kms After Week 2 : 6 Kms After Week 3 : 7 Kms with one break in between What I CAN promise is that I will give it my best shot. I WILL train regularly in the next 6 weeks , I WILL reduce my trips to the bar and I WILL Eat healthy. In short , do everything I can to help me reach my goal and to help the children who need our help. I would appreciate it greatly if you could do the same by donating as much as you can to this noble cause. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Pratham UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support Sharad patelsharad@yahoo.com BREAKING NEWS : I have managed to run 10K in my training and there are still 3 weeks to go - My next target is to do it under an hour.I will keep you updated - Thanks for your help and support.
