I am taking part in Swim Serpentine 2026’s Mile Swim to raise funds for MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders)!

MSF holds a special place in my heart. Through my studies in infectious disease control and fieldwork in global health, I have seen firsthand how transformative MSF's work is for communities facing the most dire medical crises. Their commitment to delivering emergency medical care regardless of politics, geography, or ability to pay reflects values I hold deeply. By training and working in this field, I have witnessed the devastating impact of disease outbreaks and conflict on vulnerable populations — and the extraordinary difference that organizations like MSF can make. I am proud to swim in support of their vital mission.

By donating to my page you will be supporting MSF to respond quickly during an emergency, treating those most in need as quickly as possible. It also means MSF can respond to epidemics, conflicts, and disasters at a moment’s notice, so a huge thank you!

- £21 can help pay for masks to resuscitate three new born babies.

- £43 could pay for a blood pressure monitor to help detect underlying health issues

- £95 could provide antiretroviral drugs for a year for one person living with HIV/AIDS.

- £153 could buy a basic surgical kit, enabling an MSF surgeon to carry out surgery.

- £306 can pay for an emergency kit to dress 100 wounds.

Even £5 can make a difference in emergency medical responses - any donation helps!
