In December this year, I will be embarking on a run from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh. The route will take 61 days and cover 1,915 kilometres, entirely self-supported - just me, pulling all my stuff in a hiking trolley and trying to eat as many bánh mì as possible for fuel along the way.

As well as doing this as a personal challenge and intentionally taking myself out of my comfort zone, I also wanted to make a positive contribution by raising money for an amazing charity.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders, is the world's leading medical humanitarian aid organisation.

MSF provide emergency assistance to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics and natural or man-made disasters, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

MSF work in over 70 countries - in many that you will be able to think of and some that you will not even realise there is a desperate need for MSF's assistance - and go to the places where others cannot or choose not to go.

I have the upmost admiration for anyone that chooses to become a doctor as a vocation that is solely based around helping others, and I have even more admiration for doctors that volunteer their time and knowledge to help those around the world in most need of support.

Whilst the odds of me becoming a doctor and giving my time in any meaningful way to MSF are somewhere between extremely slim and non-existent, I can surely put one foot in front of the other - about 2 million times on current predictions - to raise money for such a worthy cause.

Knowing that every pound raised will go to MSF will keep me going through my adventure and I could not be more grateful to all of those who choose to donate, no matter how big or small an amount.

Thank you so much to all that donate and I'll see you at the finish line in Ho Chi Minh!
