Hackney Half Marathon 2025 for MSF

Hackney Half Marathon 2025 · 18 May 2025 · Start fundraising for this event
I am running the Hackney Half Marathon on May 18, 2025, to raise funds for MSF! This will be my first Half Marathon as a deeply unskilled runner - it is exciting, it gives me the opportunity to run around my 3rd favourite London borough, BUT also gives me the opportunity to fundraise for a very important cause.
Across the world we are seeing a devastating increase in war, ethnic cleansing, climate disaster and healthcare emergencies.
From the mass killings, destruction of the healthcare system, and forced displacement in Gaza to ongoing civil war, malnutrition and recurring climate disaster in South Sudan, MSF are working to provide life saving intervention to people who need it most and raise awareness of the global injustices we see happening every day.
Any donation big or small makes a huge difference, so thank you so much for your support.
