For a good cause

As you may be aware, I am running the Mumbai Marathon for a cause that I am supporting -- eradication of Cancer. I hope to raise a pledge from you to help my chosen NGO ‘Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA). ‘United Way of Mumbai’ is the Charity Partner for Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon and all money I collect would be routed through United Way of Mumbai to CPAA.

You can pledge the funds to ‘Cancer Patients Aid Association’ a charitable organization in the following ways:

• By Cheque:Cheques should be drawn in favor of ‘United Way of Mumbai’ (DDs for outstation)
• By Cash:Please give your donation amount to me. I shall fill out the donation details in the pledge sheet and hand over the money to United Way
• By Credit Card: Please visit http://www.unitedwaymumbai.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=146&popup=1&template_id=162 and make a payment using your credit card and you will receive the receipt directly.

And while the good feeling of helping people is motivation enough, Govt. will give you more by way of a 50% tax exemption U/S 80G of Income Tax for all Donations over Rs 100/-

I hope you too will support this cause and help CPAA in their efforts.
