Fundraising for Bhopal
Seattle Marathon: June 27, 2009

Cause
Nearly half a million people were exposed to poisonous methyl isocyanate during a runaway chemical reaction at the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal on December 3, 1984.
Since then, more than 22,000 people have died and 150,000 survivors continue to be chronically ill, as the Indian government and Dow (Union Carbide's owner) have repeatedly failed to address their liabilities for the atrocities of the world’s worst industrial disaster.
Your contribution would go towards a free medical clinic for the victims (Sambhavana) and the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal.
