Hello Everyone!

My name is Holly Norris and I am a second year paediatric nursing student at the University of Southampton.

This August I will be flying out to Kathmandu, Nepal, as part of a voluntary nursing placement at Kanti Children’s Hospital.

I will be working with children who have a range of illnesses, some of which rarely present themselves within our western population. In addition to helping care for sick children, within the only children’s hospital in Nepal, I will also be working with their families to provide comfort and support. This voluntary placement is a fantastic opportunity to see how nursing care can be provided in a very different culture.

As part of my fundraising, I am running the Southampton Half Marathon on Sunday 23rd April 2017. For me as a beginner runner, 13.1 miles will be a tremendous challenge. However, I am really motivated to achieve this goal by the difference I can make to the lives of sick children.

I am asking you to please sponsor me to help raise funds for this unique nursing experience.

Your generous support and donations will help towards my accommodation, travel costs and a donation to the children’s hospital itself.

Thank you for your sponsorship and support in aid of the children of Nepal.
