Story
There are many worthy causes but I've chosen to run the Baxter's 10K on 23rd September 2018 in aid of charity work being done by Charge Nurse, Rhoda Patterson, from Raigmore's Oncology Department, and her colleague, Dr Bal, after learning of their experiences in India providing cancer clinics.
Rhoda spoke to our staff group at an Away Day and moved us to tears with stories and pictures of the of local people whose lives she touched. One story, which stayed with me, was of a young married woman and mother who learned of her advanced cancer only a matter of days before she died. Prior to her contact with Rhoda and Dr Bal, she and her husband had no idea what was physically wrong with her or that she was close to death. The genuine compassion clearly offered to this woman and her family, evident in Rhoda's retelling of the story, was incredibly moving and humbling.
On this first trip, Rhoda and Dr Bal brought clothing donations and healthcare supplies in their suitcases however they learned that money was the most valuable resource because medications and other items were easily sourced for very little once in the local area. As a result, when they plan to go for a second time in early 2019, they hope to take as much money as possible with them.
Please give generously, knowing that every penny you donate will be of benefit to vulnerable fellow human beings through Rhoda and Dr Bal's life-changing work.

6 years agoThank you everyone! Your support meant a lot as I worked towards my goal. It's the first time I've been out running since I left school and I LOVED it. I am delighted with my time of 1 hour 8 minutes and am already thinking, "When's the next 10K? Maybe I could try to go a bit faster..."
