How can you run 26.2 miles (42 kilometers) without some greater purpose you ask? I have been wondering the same. Naturally I have chosen to set up a fund raising account with MSF.
This probably won’t surprise anyone but just in case you are wondering why you should give your hard earned money to them rather than some other cause, I will tell you . . .
MSF is one of the top actors in addressing the global medical needs of the world, especially in emergency situations. When the earthquake hit Port au Prince on Jan 12, MSF sent an additional 70 volunteers within 48 hours to their existing project of 300 employees. Their ability to mobilize and respond quickly to situations is due to support of individuals who recognize and believe in what they are doing.
As a volunteer I can personally attest to the importance of the work that MSF is doing.
If you can, please donate to this cause! (Of course, it is tax deductible)
