Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm running the Kingston Asics run on Oct 12th in order to raise money for Asha.  The run is 16 miles - I've no ambition to get a fast speed - but will aim to finish even if that means some walking!

Asha is a community health and development society dedicated to helping the urban poor of Delhi, which I visited last year - it is doing a wonderful job. Formed in 1988, Asha works with nearly 300,000 slum dwellers in 46 slum colonies around the city of Delhi, enabling them to transform their lives.  "Asha" is the Hindi word for "hope". Asha aims to give people living in slums the chance to realise their potential, regardless of their ethnic background, caste or religious beliefs.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Friends Of Asha (Gb) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Any sponsors are very much appreciated!
