We will be running  the Brighton Marathon on Sunday 14th April 2013

 

Our aim is to beat our previous time of 4h 18m but just to complete the 26.2 miles again would be a huge achievement.

 

We would love as many people as possible to come and cheer us on and help give us the motivation to get over the finishing line :-)

 

We are raising money for a great charity called Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

 

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) means  ‘Doctors Without Borders’

 

Here is MSF in 40 seconds: http://youtu.be/mXV8lTgETks

 

MSF treats people who urgently need medical care. It doesn’t matter to MSF doctors and nurses what these people look like, where they come from or who they are. All that is important is that they are human beings (just like me and you) who need to see a doctor. They can be any gender, colour, religion, age or race.

MSF are the world’s leading independent medical  humanitarian aid organisation.  Being a medical ‘humanitarian’ organisation means that they provide medical care to people who really need to see a doctor the most. Because everybody can get sick!

 

Despite their  French name, doctors, nurses and engineers from all over the world work together for MSF to provide medical care for people wherever they need it. This could be for many different reasons, including:

•       Wars

•       Natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods

•       Diseases including Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV/Aids

•       Famine and Malnutrition
