I am Swiss/German and have just started Medical School in the UK. I have been lucky enough to be born and raised in societies where healthcare is of top quality. All my life I have always gotten the best medical care, and I often unconsciously took this for granted. 

I realised that unfortunately most people are not as fortunate as I am. I want to give back what I have recieved, and show my appreciation, by fundraising for 'The Little Things'; an organisation that aims to improve the quality of healthcare in developing countries. In light of the huge global inequalities, I feel this is a great way in which we can all contribute to making a difference, by giving some of what we have to those in need. 

The money I am raising through your generous donations, will specifically go towards three new Projects in Sri Lanka. This includes the construction of a Pre-mature Babies Unit (PBU) as well as contributing to the renewal of a hospital which is lacking equipment and quality to treat the increasing amount of patients coming in daily. Lastly donations will support a newly built hospital that is currently lacking funds to be fully furnish and equipped. 

My target for summer 2016 is ambitious and high but with the help of your donations I believe it can be reached - Every penny counts! If I reach my target I will climb Machu Picchu in August 2016 for The Little Things.
