Deepali Luthra (21.1 kms)

Running for good health has been instilled in me by my dad who continues to be my inspiration. My son helped me take it to another level of running long distances, a half marathon and who knows what next.

Why Asha for Education?
I am grateful for this gift. I am also honored to be able to run this year for ASHA Zurich, for a cause that is so close to my heart. Being a teacher and a Montessorian, I believe in the vital role education plays in fulfilling human potential.
As Montessori said: "an education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking; it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people to understand the times in which they live."

Asha is a "low overhead" organization, completely driven by volunteers (including the administrative expenses) ensuring 100% of your donations are sent to our partner groups in India. We have no paid staff and keep our running costs to minimum.

I'm asking you to sponsor my run with whatever contribution you can make. All donations are tax deductible, and we are registered with many companies for donation-matching programs. Any contribution you make will help achieve these marathon goals and go a long mile in bringing smiles, education, well-being and awareness to children and their communities.
