Karen Dunstan, in-house General Counsel at Urban Exposure is taking part in the Virgin London Marathon 2016 on 24th April to help raise money for The Akshaya Patra Foundation, Urban Exposure’s corporate charity.
Urban Exposure are proud to have been a sponsor of Akshaya Patra for the last two years. As a charity it delivers maximum impact for each pound it receives - reaching an astonishing 1.4m children each day. It's one of the most efficient and highly audited charities in the world today.
The Foundation provides hot, nutritious school meals to 1.4 million children every day across 10 states in India with just 1 child being fed for a whole year at the cost of £10, £2,500 can feed an entire school for a whole year and with £0.96 from every £1.00 donated going directly towards producing food for children.
These free midday meals encourage children to attend school and stay in school whilst tackling hunger and malnutrition. For many it will be the only meal they receive that day – and the biggest incentive to come to school. By providing free school meals, the charity are shaping the next generation of India's children, giving them the opportunity to have a career that previously was out of reach.
Commenting on her fund raising Karen Dunstan, General Counsel, Urban Exposure said: "I'm really excited to be running the London Marathon again this year - my 3rd one - it doesn't get any easier! I'm particularly inspired to raise money for such an amazing charity. If we reach our target of raising £2500, we will feed an entire school for an entire year. Any donations helping to deliver such incredible impact would be greatly appreciated."
