Help me raise $30,000 to get 60 children into school in India in 2018 - my 60th year!

Support Plan International's Schools on Wheels and help 60 children get a great start in life

In India, of the nearly 200 million children aged six to fourteen years, more than half do not complete eight years of elementary education; they either never enroll or they drop out of school. The Schools on Wheels program is a pre-school preparation program that puts children on an educational track and keeps them from joining the ranks of child labour.

Plan International India works with municipal schools (government-run public schools) to ensure quality education and to ensure that children maintain their enrollment in school.

Plan International India also works with municipal schools (government-run public schools) to ensure
proper quality of education and to ensure that children maintain their enrollment in school. They do so
through the School Partnership Program, which ensures quality education in formal schools, thus
preventing the drop out of children in these schools.
It is through all of these initiatives that Plan International India continues to ensure a holistic and
sustainable approach to supporting the education of all children, especially girls, living in Mumbai. The
School on Wheels program is one integral part of this complete picture.

How do I do it!?

Running around the world in 7 days is one of the most physically demanding challenges one can face. During a 7-day period, competitors will will run a marathon (42.2km) on each continent. Eating and sleeping will be on flights. Challenges include fatigue, jet lag, sleep deprivation and the stress of temperature fluctuations ranging from +40°C to -50°C.

Running around the world in 7 days will be one of most physically demanding challenges one can face. During a 7 day period, competitors will fly by a charted plane and will run a marathon 42.2Km in each continent. Participants will fly to Novo base in Antarctica ( within the Antarctic Circle) to begin the challenge at the frozen continent in Jan 2018 followed by Cape Town, Perth, Lisbon, Cartagena and Miami. Runners would typically run the distance and fly to the next continent. Eating and sleeping will be in flights as well. Challenges to suffer...Marathon fatigue, jet lag, sleep deprivation and stress of temperature fluctuations with possible variations of 40-50C

The only way I can keep up this pace is by taking AWAKE and ASLEEP - my own all-natural adaptogenic supplements - as an essential part of my training routine. They ensure that I get proper, restorative sleep when I need it and energy when I am awake.
