About Team Asha
This year I am training to run SF half marathon in July.
I hope to raise funds for Asha for Education, a non-profit organization, working to bring socio-economic change in India through education of underprivileged children. It is a lot of time commitment and a huge challenge to train for a marathon.
But despite all the challenges,I am constantly motivated knowing that the funds I raise could mean the difference between education and poverty for underprivileged children.
