Fundraising for Vibha Striders 2022

Hare Srinivasa !!!                   Hari SarvOttama !!             vAyu jEvOttama !!                Go Fremont Phantoms !!

Running was never my strength and I always thought it was boring. When I saw runners during my walks or while driving, I always thought they would stop in the next 2 minutes. All of this changed when I signed up to run for half marathon in June 2022. Last 5 weeks of training made me realize that running is an amazing experience and it is a lot of fun. Those who run slow and look to be not in best of the shapes when you are waiting at the lights - are putting a lot of effort. I may be one of them. They are determined, have a target in mind and backed by a pool of professional coaches/mentors/volunteers supporting the runners and a much greater cause as well...

I would like to spread awareness of Vibha and the great work it's volunteers are doing in India, as I get ready for my first ever half marathon. Thank you for visiting this page. Please help Vibha by donating any amount you feel comfortable with. No amount is small and it goes a long way in helping kids in need.
