On 15 January 2012 is the next editon of the Mumbai Marathon. Just like last year we will have a group of IDBI Federal Life Insurance particpating and running for a good cause. Because running is not a goal in itself and the Mumbai Marathon combines the running efforts with supporting fundraising for good causes.
One of them is Swayamsiddh, a NGO at Aurangabad that runs a special school and boarding center for unprivileged children. It is the first mother-parent trust in India and has won national award for its excellent work. You can know more about this NGO at Swayamsiddh's website. At IDBI Federal we decided last year to start supporting Swayamsiddh. In the first year we had 26 runners, this year 90!
Swayamsiddh is a great cause, started from a parents' initiative it can have all our support to continue their work and reaching out for groups where the disabilities of these kids are not easily recognised. Your contribution will be of help for Swayamsiddh and it will make me run harder in the 2012 edition of the Mumbai Marathon! To donate (from anywhere in the world), just click on the link ... And I promise to run faster than last year.
