MUMBAI, NOV. 24. Sachin Tendulkar and wife Anjali have confirmed entries for the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2005. The duo will run the Dream Run for charity Apnalaya, said event promoter Procam International's Vivek Singh, as per information from Anjali's mother Annabelle Mehta. Cheques for Rs 10,000 each were given in both names alongwith forms to Give Online, the marathon's charity partner, while Annabelle said Sachin and Anjali had pledged to raise Rs. 90,000 individually towards charity.
