Running for a cause!

These runs are also an opportunity to help some of the needy folks around us and I have pledged to raise Rs. 50,000/=(Rupees fifty thousand) for Association of the Physically Disabled(APD) in Bangalore. I have been associated with APD for a while mainly because one of my brothers(who was a great friend as well:), Trideep, who is no more, was physically challenged(but otherwise very smart:) as well. So we used to order specially designed shoes with a support frame which helped him to walk without any help. In fact they innovated the design of this shoe so that the support frame was so light and you could wear a normal shoe with it. Earlier designs were very heavy and the shoe was attached to the support frame which made it heavy and inflexible. But off late, my association has been very sporadic via some donations.

Thanks to my pal, Ashish Philips(one 'l' or two?:) who forwarded their request for help and I am trying to help. See the attached document.

So please do contribute and I will match your contributions and I am planning to offer a gift(something with a picture of mine on it, so that you don't forget me:).
