Help Alina raise money

For participating in Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 2024

My Story…

Hello Friends, Family, and Colleagues!  I am training again for a marathon this year and wanted to fundraise for a great humanitarian organization: Doctors Without Borders (MSF), joining the Free Palestine team.  Please consider donating whatever is feasible to this amazing organization that provides critical medical care.  

This year, I feel compelled to do whatever I can to support brave health care workers who continue to do all they can in order to provide emergency care to people in Gaza, despite the health care system being systematically destroyed.  As I am a health care worker myself, I feel fundraising for MSF is a very fitting way to try to help not only to those amazing health care workers, but also to those in dire need of their help and support.

Any support is greatly appreciated and will help keep me focused in my training and marathon run.  Thank you kindly!

Description

Dear friends, 


I have pledged to support Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).


MSF is an independent emergency medical humanitarian organization that has more than 40,000 staff members working in humanitarian crises in close to 70 countries. Right now, MSF medical teams are saving lives all over the world. MSF would not be able to make such a difference in the lives of people caught in crises without the generosity of individual donors.

 

More than 95 per cent of MSF’s funding comes from private donations, rather than from governments or large institutions. This gives MSF the independence to act decisively and to go wherever the needs are greatest, without additional political pressure or interference. 

 

I have decided to support MSF, and it would mean so much to me if you would consider supporting my fundraising goal. Each donation counts. 

 

Together, we can help alleviate suffering and change lives. 

 

Your generosity allows MSF teams to continue saving lives by delivering urgent care to people made vulnerable by disaster, conflict, disease or exclusion from healthcare. Thank you for your support!
