The Run for Hope was held yesterday morning. Ramesh Aravind, the south Indian movie star flagged off the 5km run, which started at St. Joseph’s Indian School and went around Kanteerva stadium, Cubbon Road and ended back at the school. The event had a good turn out and I am hoping enough funds were collected for the new ‘Littlewoods Learning Centre’, being started by Lovedale Foundation.

It was nice to see that there were many people coming forward to volunteer at events like this, and there were many employees from different companies there, helping organise the event.

If anyone wishes to volunteer for future events or want to donate to the foundation, then please visit their website at http://lovedalefoundation.org for more details.

All in all it was a Sunday morning well spent! Even though I had to get up at some insanely early hour, to reach the venue! We followed the event with breakfast at Frescos in Cunningham Road, but the buffet wasn’t all that great…atleast not for veggies…and definitely not worth the 250 bucks!
