I'm running the Manchester 10km to help fundraise for the amazing UK-Med. 

As you may know, I recently started working at the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute and one of our charity partners (and neighbour!) is UK-Med.

UK-Med is committed to providing emergency specialist care in the immediate aftermath of large and sudden onset disasters and disease outbreaks often to the most vulnerable people of the world. We're a charity, so your kindness could help our teams to rapidly deploy to support in-country health teams at their time of need. Our aim is to save lives, alleviate suffering and protect dignity. We are looking to grow our emergency response fund so we can answer more calls for our help. As well as supporting a surge response to a health emergency, your support could pay for vital medicines, equipment and support our colleagues in disaster-prone countries. Any donation, large or small, is greatly appreciated by both UK-Med and the people we work with.
