Haha so I’ve never run further than 5km before starting training for this in Feb and I'm not sure I'd ever even done that without a little walk. So I am setting myself this challenge in the hopes that we can raise a little bit of money for MSF.
I think many of us feel pretty useless when it comes to how to support people in conflict and crisis zones around the world and donating to MSF is a real way to help so maybe just use this as a place to do that even if you don't really care about whether or not I can run a bit far.
"Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is the world's leading medical humanitarian aid organisation. We provide emergency assistance to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics and natural or man-made disasters, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. We work in over 70 countries and go to the places where others cannot or choose not to go. Friends of MSF Edinburgh is taking on the challenge at the EMF 2026 to fundraise like never before! Help us support MSF and smash our target!"
