Hello! 

We are a group of International Public Health and Humanitarian Studies MSc Students from The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM).

Our team "It's a Lilongway to Malawi" is racing against teams other from LSTM  to walk, run or cycle the distance from LSTM to Malawi through our daily exercise allowance - a massive 8268km!!!

We are taking this challenge on  to support in support of the LSTM COVID-19 Response and Resilience Fund. This has been set up to raise money to support support efforts here in the UK and LSTMs partners in Malawi to enable more cutting-edge research to fight the pandemic and to help build resilience for the future.

Malawi has 350 clinical doctors to treat a population of 18 million people and even the largest hospitals are woefully lacking the basic equipment needed to treat the most serious cases. LSTM’s team, based at the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome research programme in Blantyre, estimate that two thirds of serious cases admitted to hospital could die because there is inadequate equipment available.

We would be hugely grateful for any amount you are able to give to support us in this challenge and help to raise vital funds for the LSTM COVID-19 Response and Resilience Fund. 

Thank you for your support! 

Lets get racing....
