Running High Africa: palliative care in Africa

On 5th July 2013, Scott Murray and his wife Mary will join their son Andrew Murray in Kenya on his next challenge. They will be:

• Raising funds and awareness for African Palliative Care Association, to help stop people dying in pain. The University currently has a large DFID funded project training nurses in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Zambia, and funds we get will go towards ensuring morphine is available in the Kenyan hospitals and communities where they work.
• Taking out vital medical supplies to Chogoria Hospital where we used to work as missionary doctors (microscopes, stethescopes, auroscopes, opthalmoscopes, BNF’s)

Mary and Scott will climb Mt Longonot , which is 9108 feet (Ben Nevis is 4409ft), Andrew will be running up Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya (each in only a day), as well as running an ultra-marathon at altitude every day for 3 weeks (about 900K).
