I have strongly believed that educating girls provides just that kind of runway, where takeoff to a great future is a clear promise. And Educate Girls is doing just that kind of stellar work of putting girls\u2019 education on the forefront thus ensuring that our country can fully achieve the potential it\u2019s truly capable of. Imagine when an exciting opportunity like running to support girl\u2019s education came by courtesy the Standard Chartered Marathon and Educate Girls \u2013 to be honest, that day I didn\u2019t actually run for any cause, I ran for myself. And yes, will do it as many times as I get a chance.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Twitter: #educategirls #mumbaimarathon #impact<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 20th January, 2013, 15 people ran for a special cause \u2013 they ran to show their support and shape the future.
