Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am a woman of the Gorkha ethnic-minority group in North-East India, and as such have faced different types of discrimination: socio-economic, cultural, and political, all my life. Long distance running in the Himalayas has helped me to build not only stamina, but a stronger sense of myself and boosted my confidence considerably. I have now participated in several national and international level marathon events including the Mumbai Marathon six times and I hold a record of 1:56:37 for 21 km.

It has been my lifelong dream to run in the London Marathon so that I can compete and provide a role-model for women in my community. I am delighted to be raising funds for ActionAid, an international charity working with women and girls living with poverty and discrimination in communities like mine.
