Hi,
I hope you like this picture of me proudly wearing my Medical Foundation T-Shirt in the Peak District last year before helping out the Edale Open Air Jazz Festival that raised funds for the Medical Foundation.
I had to click that I was happy with the image, however if you are not and would rather see more of the beautiful countryside then please sponsor me to run off 5K into the distance.
In fact the run shall take place in London in May but I know a man who is a whiz with photoshop.
The money will help the Medical Foundation to respond to victims of torture from all over the world with services that include casework and counselling, crisis intervention, welfare advice, psychotherapy, medical services, child and adolescent psychotherapy and physical therapies. Each year the Medical Foundation treats thousands of broken and extremely vulnerable people, who are in desperate need of help.
Kabili is just one example:
Kabili lived an ordinary life with his mother and father until the soldiers came. They dragged his father outside the house, strapped him into a chair and shot bullets into every part of his body while Kabili was made to watch. Then Kabili was forced to leave with them. He was injected with drugs to numb his feelings and forced to go on killing sprees with his abductors. When Kabili arrived alone in England, the world inside his mind was hell. He was overcome with guilt that he had not saved his father from the killers. But with the help he receives at the Medical Foundation, Kabili's tormented state is slowly transforming into a more confident outlook. Little by little, the Medical Foundation is helping relieve his terrible sense of guilt, which no innocent child should have to bear alone.
So, please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Medical Foundation For The Care Of Victims Of Torture will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
Dave
