13.1 miles for Uzuakoli, Nigeria

Event date: 18th September 2011

jmspencer is raising money for UZUAKOLI SUPPORT GROUP

My story

In March 2003 I travelled to Uzuakoli, Nigeria as a fresh-faced medical student on my medical elective. I had an incredible time. Ridiculously, I was thanked for the sacrifices that I had made in leaving the comforts of the UK to travel to Nigeria. Truth be told, I learned more from this remarkable community than I could ever have hoped to have given to them.

A year later I was involved in setting up a charity aimed as supporting my friends in this community. The charity supports a leprosy colony, a school, a Motherless Babies' Home and a hospital.

The challenges of this community are ongoing and, yet, its commitment to making the lives of those within in never waivers. The Uzuakoli Support Group provides support where possible, but it is the members of this community themselves who provide the driving force behind change for better.

In 2011 where the world faces financial crises, it is becoming increasingly difficult to raise funds. Jill "Bannister" Spencer I am not, but on 18th September I will be running 13.1 miles to raise money for this cause.

Any and all donations will be gratefully received.
Thank you.
