Update:
We ran the London Marathon on 28th April and had an amazing experience. Big Thank You to some of you who came out there in person to support us and for all your contributions towards our cause. This page will be open for a few more days after the marathon to allow us to raise as much as possible for One Cause.
Many thanks!

Hi! Thanks for finding your way to our JustGiving Page.
We have taken up a huge challenge by running the London Marathon to raise funds for a charity called OneCause that is making a difference in underprivileged communities through education.
We grew up in India in middle class families. Our parents sacrificed holidays and other comforts they could have afforded and chose to spend the money on the highest quality education available to us at the time. We have easier lives than our parents thanks to the education they ensured we got. The importance of education is something we truly believe can change lives, especially in communities that have been plagued with poverty for ages.
The team from One Cause raise and channel funds to schools in India and Uganda that desperately need the funds to sustain. Our target of raising £5000 for this charity will mean that about 55 students can attend school for an entire year!
We hope you will support us in this endeavour of raising funds for a worthy cause and would be extremely grateful for any donations to help us meet this target. If you can’t donate at this time, maybe you would be kind enough to share our page?
Thank you for your support & contribution.
