Story
I am honoured to participate in the London Half-Marathon 2025 to raise funds for the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Scholarship Fund.
From this on, I will also run the London Full-Marathon 2025 for the LSHTM Scholarship Fund. I’m thrilled to be running my very first marathon—the iconic London Marathon—in support of a cause that truly means a lot to me.
My Experience at LSHTM
I am from Myanmar. I completed my MSc in Health Policy, Planning, and Financing at LSHTM in the 2021/22 batch. For a student from a third-world country, attending a world-class University is a big dream for all of us. While I was working in MSF in Myanmar, some of the Expet who joined the mission were LSHTM alumni and they shared how greatness of the school. From that time, I had a dream to study at LSHTM one day. Fortunately, I received a scholarship to attend a Master degree in 2021.
My experience at LSHTM was astonishing. The academic rigor, world-class faculty, and unparalleled learning environment shaped my professional journey in profound ways. Above all, the networking opportunities and professional connections I gained at LSHTM have been invaluable. The friendships, mentorship, and collaborative relationships I formed there have played a pivotal role in shaping my career trajectory.
I am deeply grateful for this experience and committed to ensuring others have the same opportunity, regardless of financial constraints.
Supporting the LSHTM Scholarship Fund
The LSHTM Scholarship Fund empowers the next generation of global health leaders by enabling talented students from low- and middle-income countries to pursue world-class education at LSHTM. Studying at LSHTM—one of the world’s leading public health institutions—is a transformative experience, yet financial barriers prevent many deserving candidates from accessing this opportunity. Your support will help break down these barriers and foster future health innovators.
Fundraising Goal
My target is to raise £500 for the LSHTM Scholarship Fund. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports aspiring health leaders who will drive positive change in their communities.
