Dear Saligaonet Friends
I'd posted a detailed version of this mail earlier, but apparently it didn't
reach anyone. So here's a summary:
I'm running in the Mumbai Marathon on Jan 15th (tomorrow!) for charity, to
support a non-profit education NGO called Parisar Asha. [BTW, Parisar Asha
was founded by Gloria de Souza, who also hails from Saligao].
I will be doing the Half Marathon, a distance of 21 kilometres. As I have a
defect in the bone structure of my foot and ankle, I will cover the distance
with a combination of walking, jogging and slow running. I will be taking
part along with a few friends, under the banner Team Shamrock.
This e-mail is a special request to you to be a part of this venture by
pledging a donation amount now. The list of donors and the pledge amounts is
up on the Web at http://www.parisarasha.org/marathon.php.
For now, you simply need to reply to this mail indicating the amount you are
pledging. Please be generous, it's for a very good cause!
After I successfully complete my run, you will need to issue a cheque in the
name of Parisar Asha for the amount you pledged, and send it to the
specified address (details on the website). One hundred percent of your
donation will go directly to Parisar Asha. All donations from Indian
nationals qualify for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.
If you need to know more about my run or about Parisar Asha and why they are
deserving of support, please check the website at:

Please respond positively now!
Thank you for your support and generosity.
