My Story…

I can never pass up an opportunity to support Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and I thought this was just the push I needed to finally run another half-marathon. It's been 10 years since I've graduated and ran my last one so I'm doing this to prove to myself that I'm not old (!), can still do anything, and reflect on the past 10 years of being an epidemiologist and all that I've done, especially with MSF. I'd love your support whether it's emotionally ("you can do it!"), physically (always looking for running buddies) or financially (it's a tax receipt!). Thank you!!

Description

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

MSF is an independent emergency medical humanitarian organization that has more than 69,000 staff members working in humanitarian crises in close to 70 countries. Right now, MSF medical teams are assisting people 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 delivering critical care to people made vulnerable by disaster, conflict, disease or exclusion from healthcare. Thank you for your support!
