My Story…

Hello! My name is Garveen Brar and I am a Respiratory Therapist at Royal Jubilee Hospital. I decided to run this marathon to raise money for Doctors Beyond Borders Canada. This is an excellent medical organization that provides much needed medical aid to areas devastated by war, regardless of religion, race, gender or political affiliation. Raised as a Sikh, I was always taught to stand up for what is right and do Seva (selfless service to help others, regardless of who they are). This concept is what propelled me towards a career in healthcare. It devastates me seeing the conflicts and suffering around the world right now in places like Gaza, Sudan, and the Congo for example. People in areas of conflict deserve a life of peace, dignity, an end to their suffering, and basic necessities such as proper healthcare. As a result, I decided to run this marathon and help raise money for Doctors Beyond Borders, so they can continue the much needed work they are doing.

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!
