I am running to raise funds for the Frederick Foundation, which was founded by my aunt, Margaret Esiri, in memory of her late husband Frederick Esiri. My uncle Frederick died in the months after he suffered a stroke in his home country of Nigeria. He devoted much of his life to improving medical care for those who could not afford to pay for it in Nigeria. The Frederick Foundation continues his legacy by supporting the development and maintenance of a high-standard Acute Stroke Unit at the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan, Nigeria. It is also creating and fostering an educational and research link related to stroke and clinical neuroscience between the medical schools at Ibadan and Oxford.

It is a privilege to assist the charity to pursue these goals by acting as a Trustee. I am learning a lot from an international team, which includes medical and project development experts from Nigeria, the UK and many other countries. I am running the Oxford Half marathon in October 2025 to help the Frederick Foundation raise funds to achieve its aims.

Thank you for your support.
