Sponsor Chendur's "Run for a dream" - a dream to make a difference

Dear Friends,

"Can I run a Marathon...?"...Sometimes I used to wonder about my ability to do so untill I met the enthuthiastic Lend a Hand India (www.lend-a-hand-india.org) team in Central Park. I decided to run a half marathon initially but later decided commit myself to run a full marathon for a cause.... Having worked with several NGO's in Bangalore and also being a passionate photographer I had done some photoshoots for their PR and Brochures apart from visiting remote villages in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to do various studies ( Photos from my Ngo activities in India -

I got to know about Lend a Hand India from my friend and decided that I would run a marathon for them raising funds for their activities in India. I have kept a target to raise $100/mile run i.e totalling $2600 for the 26 miles I am planning to run. The funds will go towards various programs of Lend A Hand India
(www.lend-a-hand-india.org/programs.php).
