My story
My name is Andy Dennis , I am a Staff Nurse on the Intensive Care Unit at Harrogate District Hospital. I also work with Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).
MSF is a non political, non religious medical organisation working in around 60 countries. Caring for those suffering through conflict, epidemic and natural disaster.
I have worked with MSF in Uganda (2005) and Sudan (2008). The first mission was based in Displaced Persons camps in the north of Uganda. In the second I was involved in setting up health care clinics in South Sudan on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. The populations of both regions were terrrorised by a rebel group called the Lords Resistance Army who have maimed tortured, displaced or killed millions over a 20+ year period.
In 2011 I set out to raise £16,800 for MSF . This figure represents the £1400 per month to put TWO volunteers in the field for one year. The goal of £16,800 was passed months ago due to the generosity of hundreds of incredible people who care enough about others to try and help. We are now heading towards the £30,000 mark and I see no reason to stop. Its fun and it works.
I decided to raise this money by walking from Amsterdam to Barcelona (chosen as they are the HQs of the two sections of MSF for whom I have worked). It is a distance of around 2000 miles including a 400 mile section over the Alps.
The walk took three and a half months to complete and was a truly remarkable experience. I met some beautiful people whose care and kindness for a stranger was touching in the extreme.
I funded all aspects of the walk myself and ALL money donated here goes to MSF.
I will be back working in the field with MSF in 2013.

Thank you for your kindness and supporting MSF.
