On September 12, 2010, hundreds of caring individuals will be participating together in Stride Against Violence 2010 benefiting Apna Ghar (Our Home). Apna Ghar's mission is to empower and educate those impacted by domestic violence, especially in the South Asian and immigrant communities. Please visit www.apnaghar.org to learn more.**

I and several others will be walking on behalf of CAMP Chicago and our team's fund raising goal is $350. We would appreciate any support that you could give CAMP Chicago to support and ensure the continued work of Apna Ghar.
