Since the beginning of the epidemic in Western Africa, an estimated 9,177 people have died as a result of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), and a further 23,000 have been infected.[1] Many more have lost friends, family, lovers, children, colleagues.
Oxfam is an international Non-Government Organisation that is working in Liberia and Sierra Leone to rebuild the lives and communities destroyed by Ebola. On April 26 I will run the London Marathon to raise £2,000 for this worthy cause, and your support would be gratefully appreciated.
To donate, please visit http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/davidjohnhumphreys - all proceeds will go directly to support Oxfam's work in the region. Thank you so much to all of you who have already made a contribution.
