Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. On October 24 I will be participating in a 10K run in in order to raise money for a very good cause. 10 kilometres might not be a lot – but it will surely be enough for me – considering I could only do about 3-4 kilometres a couple of months ago! So please do help me by making a small donation, all of which will go to Médecins du Monde – MDM (Doctors of the World UK), an international humanitarian aid organization I have been working with this summer. They currently have 185 projects in over 60 countries, helping provide medical care to vulnerable people affected by conflict, natural disasters, and war/conflict. Not only does MDM send volunteer doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to emergency and crisis programmes, but they also have two other types of projects;
· Post-emergency/crisis projects: helping restore access to healthcare, even for the most vulnerable and marginalized groups· Long-term, sustainable healthcare development projects, helping train local healthcare professionals in order to provide lasting solutions to the lack of access to healthcare
Want to have a look at some of the projects? Go to: http://www.mdmuk.org.uk/projectsoverseas/default.Asp
In addition, they also run a domestic project, Project:, helping some of our communiy’s most vulnerable groups access healthcare and get the care they are entitled to. See http://www.mdmuk.org.uk/projectlondon/default.Asp
So for the practical information… Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now. Any donation is very much appreciated!
