I will be cycling from London to Brighton to home (100mi/161km) to raise money for the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Scholarship Fund. LSHTM is renowned for its research and teaching in global health, but many students face financial barriers pursuing study here. I have a scholarship to thank for funding my masters at LSHTM, where I saw the huge importance of nurturing future scientists from all backgrounds.

I now work in malaria research at LSHTM. The fight against malaria has made remarkable progress, but success depends on aspiring public health professionals across the globe accessing high-quality education to drive innovations in malaria control.

I would be very grateful if you considered sponsoring me to help the next generation of health specialists and improve health equity worldwide.
