Running Berlin Marathon for Education in Nepal

I am planning to run the Berlin Marathon on 20th of September this year and raise money for a charity that is focused on perserving local environment and communitites in Nepal. The money raised will be used for the Pipar project (pronouned Pee-par) which aims to build schools and employ teachers in rural communities in Nepal. Web link – Pipar Project

Many of you were kind enough to sponsor me when I ran the London Marathon in April this year. You’ll be pleased to know that we raised £440 which was used to pay for one year’s salary of a local Teacher.

A pound spent in Nepal can achieve a lot more than a pound spent in the UK. So thank you so much for your support and hope you can support me again in running the Berlin Marathon.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. If you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now! I’ll promise to run faster in Berlin!
