I am doing another run to help support Doctors for Nepal,
a charity that my good friend Kate started after a mission to Nepal with
MSF. This fantastic charity aims to improve access to healthcare in rural
Nepal by supporting rural healthcare projects and students from rural areas of
Nepal to train and serve as healthcare professionals in their local communities.

Did you know that:

-Rural areas of Nepal average one doctor for every 150,000 people, compared to one for every 850 people in the Kathmandu valley.

-A child born in Kathmandu has 82 years of average life expectancy. A child born in Jumla (in the mountains of the mid-west) has just 36 years (Department of Health Services figures).

-In Nepal the annual GDP averages £560 per head. The cost of medical training is over £30,000


A little help can go a long way in this part of the world.

Namaste and wish me luck :)
