Hello supporters,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I had a funny five minutes the other day and signed myself up for the 10k run in Bangalore (!) It seems crazy running in this heat, but it is all for a worthy cause (as I keep telling myself!)
Since arriving in Bangalore five months ago, I've been looking for a way to raise money for underprivileged local children, so when this opportunity arose I couldn't turn it down.
The Friends of Baale Mane - the charity I have chosen to run for provides a loving home for girls between the ages of 6 and 16 who are either orphans, have a single parent who is unable to care for them, or have lost contact with their parents.
Many of the girls have been rescued from a life of living on the streets and child labour. The Baale Mane provides the girls with opportunities to fulfil their individual potential and support them through to a sustainable adult life.
You can watch a video on the charity's website http://www.baalemane.org to give you a better idea of the work they do.
Please sponsor me and help make a positive difference to a girl's future (and help spur me on to the finish line!)
Many thanks,
Clare x
