Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for the Paris Half Marathon on 7th March 2010.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 60 countries.

MSF provides essential healthcare during and after conflict, treats people affected by epidemic diseases, helps people in the aftermath of natural disasters and offers medical care to those excluded from healthcare.

In countries where health facilities are insufficient or even non-existent, MSF collaborates with authorities such as the Ministry of Health to provide assistance. MSF rehabilitates hospitals and clinics, runs vaccination programmes, performs surgery, operates feeding centres for malnourished children, provides psychological support and runs water and sanitation projects. MSF also works in remote health care centres and slum areas and provides training to local personnel.

MSF has been setting up emergency medical aid missions around the world since 1971.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for your support
