St. Davids Day 10K run · 6 March 2011

Our focus is on Africa's orphans and most vulnerable children. Every day our mobile clinic saves young lives and eases suffering by taking medicines to children who live in in remote areas. We provide antiretroviral therapy to children with AIDS and deliver public health education to communities.

Story

<p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>We're travelling to Malawi at the end of March to work for the World Medical Fund for children as part of our elective.<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The WMF provides mobile clinics to remote villages with a team of clinical officers and nurses to provide medicines and diagnostic tools.&nbsp; Without the WMF,&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">children in rural regions would have no access to medical care due to severe poverty and lack of health/transport infrastructure. </span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The WMF is also successfully treating children suffering from AIDS, reducing the incidence of mother to child transmission of the HIV virus and ensuring that history does not repeat itself by giving HIV/AIDS education. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">WMF now treats over 35,000 sick children every year and saves young lives every day. </span></span>Please help us to contribute to the continuation of the&nbsp;brilliant work the&nbsp;WMF does!</p> <p>We will be swapping our high heels for trainers to run Cardiff 10K, 6th March. So please&nbsp;sponser us as little or as much as you can afford, anything will be greatly appreciated!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love from Jem and Joy</p> <p>Donating is safe with JustGiving. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.</p>
