Ritesh Gupta's fundraiser for Vibha Striders

Fundraising for Vibha Striders 2023

Hello Friends,

I will be running a Half-Marathon at the Vibha Dream Mile 2023 on Jun 4th to raise funds for the Vibha organization (https://vibha.org/), and spread awareness of the great work their volunteers are doing in helping underprivileged Children in India since 1991!! More details below.

Please join me in supporting Vibha's mission by spreading the word and, if you feel inclined, make a tax deductible donation of any amount you are comfortable, to my Fundraiser below. Thank you!

You may alternatively make this tax deductible donation via your corporate matching program directly to to Vibha,Inc (and not via this page), if they offer that option. Please mention my fundraiser title in the comments, and share the confirmation receipt, and we will record your contribution (+match) on this fundraiser page.

If you would like to join me on the this run, or a 5K, 10K Walk/Run, check out Vibha Dream Mile 2023 for registration details. Or just join at the finish line party at 800 Embedded Way, San Jose, CA 95138.

I embarked on this fitness journey back in Feb 2023, with a goal I would not have imagined possible, but am I glad I took that first step, thanks to the motivation and guidance of the amazing folks Vibha, I have persevered through the program and look forward to finishing the run on Jun 4th, albeit with a slight hint of nervousness and a lot of excitement!😀.

If this motivates you to train for doing long runs, please take advantage of the awesome Vibha Striders program and sign up for updates for next season/reach out to me for details.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and for being a part of my journey.
