Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :)

Hi everyone, I know I've left things a little last minute - I leave a week on Tuesday to Malawi but I had to wait to see if I could even complete the route without passing out first! However, this is a way to donate to CURE and this page will stay up and running for around three months. 
I am completing a sponsored run on the 9th July in order to raise money for the two hospitals I will be volunteering at in Malawi in Africa this month. My goal originally was set at £300, but unfortunately, due to the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital being run by the government, it is not a registered charity and so I was unable to link them up to this justgiving account. 
However I was able to attatch CURE international to the account so I have set a target of £150, so that they will recieve half of the money. The other half that I will be giving to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital will be the money I recieve in cash sponsorships and the money I have raised from the several cake sales done at school. 
CURE international run the Beit CURE International Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi which serves children with physical disabilities regardless of their ability to pay for their treatment. CURE is a non-profit organization and is the largest provider of reconstructive surgery to disabled children in the developing world.
I am running between two hospitals we are all very familiar with, at Ormskirk and Southport which are fully equipped with the most advanced and up to date technology and facilities - the difference between the healthcare that is provided here and over there is astonishing. 
If anyone would like to sponsor me, ANY donation is greatly appriciated. Even if it is just 50p! If everyone I knew gave me 50p the differences that the money could make would be truly amazing - just £30 will help provide living-changing surgery for a child! 
Also if anyone would like to, pass the information on and spread the word!
Finally, in advance I would like to say a HUGE thank you!
