Half Marathon for MSF (Doctors without Borders)
Hi everyone,
My name is Julia, and I live in London. I'm running my second half marathon to fundraise for Medecins Sans Frontieres, also known as Doctors Without Borders or MSF.
MSF do invaluable work, providing life-saving medical care in the areas which need it most. In the last few years they have worked tirelessly around-the-clock to provide humanitarian aid in places devastated by armed conflict, such as Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan and more. As someone hoping to study medicine, they represent the type of work that I hope to do in the future.
They are reliant on volunteer donations and use these to pay for medications, vaccinations, surgeries and more. Donations are vital in helping fund their effort to provide urgent care to patients in dire situations. All of the donations here will be transferred directly to MSF.
My friend Alex and I have chosen to run a half marathon to support their vital efforts worldwide. We will be running the Richmond Park Half on the 23rd of June. We are incredibly grateful for any support and donations you can provide! It's going to be a challenge and a difficult training period, but we're excited to raise money for such a good cause.
Thank you for all your support!
