Haikus to Help - MSF


MSF are there
Where help is needed the most
They are our heroes

MSF: Neutral
Are there in the field trying
To stop Ebola

For love and support
Of the MSF hero
And humanity

Are you able to
Donate what is possible
To help their missions?

I commit to run
The marathon in Florence
All pledges welcome











Explanation:



The Florence Marathon is on the 30th November 2014.  It will be my sixth marathon but the first time I will do it to raise money.  In the past, I have run for my own sense of satisfaction.  Now I am following the lead of all those who manage to do that and fundraise for a cause they believe in.  



I choose Médecins Sans Frontières /Doctors Without Borders.   Independent. Neutral.  Impartial.   And there.  Providing assistance where it is needed most.  

If you would like to sponsor me/donate, I invite you to do so via my Just Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/Penelope-Mavor



With many thanks
