For those who can't run

As usual I am planning to raise some funds during the Sunfeast 10K Bangalore 2009for those who can't run via my charity partners, Association of People with Disability(APD) Bangalore. This time I don't really have any real targets, but having been able to collect around Rs. 50K last time, I am hopeful of collecting something around that figure.

There are many ways to contribute for those interested.

• Click on the Donate button on the right of this blog and directly contribute - you don't really need a middleman.
• Or if you are in Bangalore, you can pay a visit to APD campus at 6th Cross, Hutchins Road
  (Off Hennur Main Rd), Lingarajapuram, St. Thomas Town Post, Bangalore 560 084 (Karnataka) INDIA - you don't need to mention my name:)
  
• Send me a check payable to "Association with People with Disability" to 12/303, Mantri Residency, Near Meenakshi Temple, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore, India 560076
• You can transfer directly to my HSBC or ICICI or Canara Bank accounts - I will let you know the details if you want to go this route. Send me email at p_jayadeep at yahoo dot com
• You can give me cash if we can schedule a meeting before or after the run. Just let me know your intent to contribute.

To give you an idea of what this money could do, it could educate 10 poor, disabled children for a year for Rs. 50,000/= or train 10 disabled youths to get a job and earn their livelihood for Rs.80,000/- OR provide wheelchairs to 10 disabled person so that they can acquire mobility and pursue their dreams for Rs.70,000/-.

I would also encourage you to participate in the run if you are in Bangalore and continue running for life and raise funds or volunteer for charity.
