Fall'21 Asha Run and Bike Ride!

Last weekend, our athletes completed the Asha Final Run (5K/10K and Half marathon) and some athletes rode the Asha Final Bike Ride (50 KM). Swipe to see more pictures!

They trained for this milestone with Team Asha during Fall 2021. As part of this effort, they are also raising funds for supporting projects from Asha for Education.

Our projects in India aim to catalyze socio-economic change through the education of disadvantaged children and women. The COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse effects on our projects which rely heavily on donations to sustain.

A little will go a long way: a $40 donation is enough to provide dry rations and other essentials for a family of four for a complete month!

To know more about these awesome people and to donate to their fundraisers, visit their profiles at https://atlanta.ashanet.org/blog/donation_profiles/
