A big thank you to Yooby Gigandet and Line Ruffieux and five of their friends who took part in the Amsterdam Marathon last month and raised over CHF 5,000 to help build new homes for people living in very difficult conditions in a slum in Dakshineswar.
Yooby said afterwards: "Running for a good cause was an extra motivational boost. When running became more and more difficult, just thinking about the project helped me to overcome my pain.
Line said: "Wearing the T-shirt with the Calcutta Rescue logo made me proud! Every time I felt like I was going downhill, my friend would tell me, 'Think of Calcutta Rescue and the support you get from the team,' and then I would smile again."
