Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am raising fund to contribute to the life of underprivileged women and children in Bangladesh by providing them right skills and education for their livelihood, making them independent and building them strong to fight against poverty, illiteracy, corruption, ill health and diseases. I would also like to contribute to cancer research as my family and friends have lost their near and dear ones in cancer over the time and share the same pain as I do.

I cannot do much on my own but we can do a lot collectively. I request all my family, friends, co-workers, travel mates, people I met in my life time who I had some impact on or had some impact on me to come and join me in my goal of raising as my little effort and make it a BIG ONE!

I will be running 1-3 Km in six cities of five countries in from May 29-June 9. The cities where I will running are:

()

( )

Vienna (Austria)

Budapest ( Hungary)

Krakow (Poland)

()

A detail schedule of time and venue will be posted in the coming weeks.

I have traveled through more than 30 countries in 4 different continents and made many friends over the time and I feel that we have a lot in common in all these countries as our thoughts and feelings match and we all think that we must do something for people who are not as privileged as we are. Even if we may come from different backgrounds, races, colors, countries, religions and culture, all of our blood is red no matter where we are from or how we look or what we believe. We all feel pain when we lose a dear one or we are sad and all feel happy when we see children smile.

Your contribution will go to any of the three organizations as follows:

'Shishu Polli Plus' (http://www.sreepurvillage.org/index.html) (translated as Childrens Village Plus) a small non-religious, non-political organisation based in Sreepur, rural . SPP works with destitute mothers and their children to give them the health, knowledge and skills thay need to function independently in society. At the moment over 100 mothers and 450 children are supported by SPP. As a grass roots organisation we respond to local need and run other related programmes such as supporting vulnerable (eg trafficked or abandoned) children and fostering. We provide safety, a loving environment, food, clothing, education, and vocational training so that the people who come to us can look forward to independent lives in their communities.

The Bobby Moore Fund ( http://www.justgiving.com/bmf) raises money for bowel cancer research in memory of Bobby Moore who died from the disease. The Fund was set up by Bobby's widow, Stephanie Moore MBE, in partnership with Cancer Research in 1993. To date, the Fund has raised over £12 million pounds, which has the objective of raising money for cutting edge bowel cancer research, and raising awareness of its high risk symptoms.
