Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. In August, I'm running the Cybi Coastal marathon around part of Anglesey, along the paths, tracks, beaches and coastline of the Welsh national/Anglesey Coastal Path including South Stack lighthouse and the summit of Holyhead Mountain. 20 years ago, after running London marathon, I said Never Again but here I go ...

As well as enjoying the scenery, it's a chance to fundraise for Kisiizi Hospital located in a remote part of Uganda. http://www.kisiizihospital.org.ug 

As well as a hospital, if is a community with a primary school, its own hydro electricity, tourism to raise funds and a nursing and midwifery school.

Their patients are often living close to the edge, as subsistence farmers. When the rains come and everyone is healthy, they can just about manage to feed their families and keep their heads above water but when someone falls sick, everything rapidly falls apart.

Going to hospital is a family affair and a sick child is accompanied by parents and siblings. Whilst the family are at the hospital there is no-one to tend the livestock and plant or harvest the crops. Subsistence farmers have little in the way of ready cash and an extended stay in hospital all too often results in the sale of livestock or land to meet the cost of treatment, leaving the family even worse off.

For this reason it is vital to keep the cost of treatment to a minimum but, at the same time, the hospital must pay the wages of the staff and buy drugs and disposables. Equipment must be maintained and from time to time replaced and updated.

Anything you can donate would be hugely appreciated - and please gift aid too, if you can. Thanks so much.
