My Story…
The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has motivated me to make a difference. Witnessing the severe shortage of medical supplies, the destruction of healthcare infrastructure, and the immense suffering of civilians in the region has been heart-breaking. Although I have no personal connections to Gaza, I am driven by my strong personal values that no one should have to endure such suffering.
As a result, I have decided to participate in the Royal Victoria Half-Marathon to support Doctors Without Borders in their mission to provide essential medical services and relief in Gaza. My goal is to raise funds that will contribute to their ongoing efforts to deliver emergency medical care, support clinics, and provide life-saving treatments to those in urgent need.
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!
