Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Sadly lung disease is a leading cause of early death and disability across Africa, caused by regular exposure to open fires and poor living standards.  Our team of respiratory experts from Southampton Hospital aim to offer health care workers in Ethiopia the necessary skills to help improve patient care working within challenging circumstances.  This work requires the team to travel regularly to hospitals and health care centres across Ethiopia. This partnership has already helped improve the lives of many patients with lung disease in Ethiopia.  Whilst we have already made an impact, as healthcare professionals we can do more.  If you would be so kind as to sponsor me, it would be most appreciated and will go some way to improving the lives of some of the most disadvantaged people in the world.  Together we can make a difference! Thank you :)
