Nina, Mrinmayee, Abishek and Mark all sweat for Doctors for Nepal

On Sunday 9th October, four intrepid DFN supporters put on their running shoes to raise vital funds for our future doctors taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon, a race which takes participants from The Green Park along the Thames, up to Temple Tube Station and back down to Kensington Garden through Hyde Park.

Between the three of them, Nina, Mrinmayee & Abishek have raised just over £1,500

We are very proud to say that our four runners, Nina, Mrinmayee, Abishek and Mark all completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon in, let's say it, near Olympic times!Mrinmayee finished in 2:30:00, Abishek in 2:28:46 and Nina finished in a record 1:58:14.

"I did it in a (personal best) time of 1.48.48 which placed me 2298 out of. 12000 so I'm quite pleased." Mark

Between the four of them, our athletes raised just over £2000 with donations still coming in, Mark raising £445 through his Just Giving page.

Taking part in similar events for DFN is a very effective way of fundraising and help us raise our profile. We are extremely thankful to those of you who take part in such events to support our students.

So, a big thank you to all four of you for choosing to support Doctors for Nepal. With two new medical students on board and thanks to your funds, we are one step closer to providing better healthcare in the remote areas of Nepal.
