Ritu's half marathon for kids education

Fundraising for Vibha Striders 2024

I am running the first half marathon of my life on June 2, 2024. I have usually walked or hiked up to 5 miles, but never run 13 miles before. It has been one of my personal goals to run a half marathon, and I am finally doing it this year. I'm training for almost 16 weeks before the marathon and showing up in support of underprivileged kids who don't have access to education. 

If you know me, I am a planner and someone who dives in to figure out new challenges. This marathon is pushing me beyond my comfort zone, and training multiple times a week has been hard. But I am determined to stick with it and build both physical and mental resilience.

You can support and encourage me by helping me raise funds for these kids. My fundraising goal is modest, and no amount is too small. If you believe that I can run this half marathon and you would like to support education for kids, please donate to this cause. If your company does a charitable match, I would deeply appreciate you filing for the company match as well. 

Thank you and stay tuned for my after run stories!

Vibha is committed to bringing together both the public and private sector to strengthen infrastructure and provide mechanisms for sustainable access to education. Through Vibha's model of seed, scale, and grow, our projects, as an example, have helped expand public education programs from 15 to 43,000 schools in one state in India. As a result, this success has now become the template to expand to other states.

We believe that moulding young minds will give them the freedom to choose a better life. 

Every dollar we raise, is another massive step to helping these kids achieve their dreams.
