Boston Marathon for India's Poorest

Jodie Forbes is raising money for Karuna Trust
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Boston Marathon 2008 · 21 April 2008 ·

Karuna, a charity inspired by Buddhist values, works alongside the most excluded people in South Asia, overcoming discrimination with locally-led education, gender equality and sustainable livelihood projects.

Story

Pounding a treadmill for the past 3 months in Bangalore to compete in the Boston Marathon has been a challenge....

But not as much of a challenge as millions of the most disadvantaged people in India face daily. Please dig deep for the Karuna Trust who run many projects to help the poorest of the poor escape to a better life. Much of their work is in Mumbai, home to the largest slums in Asia.

All contributions, however small, are helpful and if you are a UK taxpayer an extra 28% will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you so much for your support!
