We want £s for pound(ing)!! Please help us.

Huw Jones (Founder and Executive Director) and Ros Bird (Trustee and Fundraiser) are running in this event to raise awareness and funds for the Virtual Doctors.  

The Virtual Doctors is a small charity delivering a telemedicine service into rural Africa, connecting isolated medical professionals to volunteer Drs in the UK and elsewhere who offer diagnostic advice to help patients presenting complex symptons be treated locally rather than being referred to distant hospitals.

We will be joining other supporters who are taking part in
this event which is happening close to where we have a small office.  10k may not seem that far for an able bodied runner you may say…  but it could be the distance that a sick patient has to walk along a muddy or dusty road to their local Health Centre in rural Africa.   Ros is coming back from injury and poor Huw never has a moment to train so this is hard for us.  However, thinking about people out in Africa struggling to cope with illness and having to travel miles to get help is a thought that will get us round whatever the weather.

£200 could pay for a mobile phone and bandwidth for a clinical officer for a whole year… Please support us  and the Virtual Doctors through our efforts and give a little back to the world today.  Every £ will count.
