Story

Hello,

If you never met me before, my name is Marcus.  There are two things you should know about me. First, I love to learn about medicine and I am going to medical school in the fall. The other thing is that I love to run.  Combining these two interests means I will either run to my patient's house for their apointments.... or run for a charity in the health care field.

I found World Without TB and decided I wanted to run for them. Their goal is to decrease the length of treatment for TB so that a greater % of patients will successfully take all of their medications. This would then decrease the amount cases and bring us one step closer to eradicatiing TB.

My fundraising target is ambitious, but I fully believe in this cause and I believe the charity's goal is reachable if we all contribute. I will accept donations in person or through this website. ANY amount you can offer will mean a lot to me, the charity, and all of thepeople who need help.

Donating  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 UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. (I am not using gift aid so you can ignore that)

NOTE: donations might be in £, not $, so make sure you donate the amount you want to donate. Currently, ~1.62 USD = 1 GBP.

 

THANKS!
