A appeal to support a dream. Read on...
In May 2005, Shashank Gupta, Volunteer at Dream A Dream (www.dreamadream.org) took on a mantle on his shoulders, that too participate in the 7-km run at the Bangalore Marathon and raise pledges for Dream A Dream. This was followed by participation in the Mumbai Marathon in January 2006, again a 7 km stint. His interest in running was further fueled with the excellent support he got for his pledge raisin efforts at the Mumbai Marathon. He made a commitment to now do a 21-km at the Bangalore Marathon in September 2007. On september 17th 2006, Shashank completed the 21-km run at the Bangalore Marathon in 2 hrs 20 Mins and raised over Rs. 1,10,000/- for Dream A Dream.
Now, his next target is the 21-km at the Delhi Marathon on October 15th 2006. This time round, Dream A Dream has decided to help his fundraising efforts by making him the official ambassador of Dream A Dream at the Hutch Delhi Half Marathon as he targets to raise Rs. 3,00,000/- or $ 7000 for the organization. We seek YOUR support in this unique endeavour undertaken by a volunteer at Dream A Dream.
