Dear Colleagues,
Apologies for cross posting.
I am running in the Great North Run at the end of September. Last year I completed the 13 and a bit miles in 1 hour 58 minutes. This year I aim to better that.
This year I will be raising money for two medical information related projects:
1. Partnerships in Health Information, who facilitate partnerships between libraries in the more developed and less developed worlds. There are currently partnerships involving each of Chechnya, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Uganda and the UK. Money raised could support these partnerships or go towards starting new ones.
2. The University of Leicester's own partnership with Gondar Medical College, Ethiopia. Materials have been sent to Gondar's library, academic staff from Leicester are involved in teaching in Ethiopia, staff from Gondar visit Leicester to gain new skills, and research is being carried out on projects of joint interest. Money raised could help get teaching and library materials from the UK to Gondar.
I will split sponsor money 50-50 between these two projects.
If you would like to sponsor me, then please contact me and I will email a sponsor form to you. This has details of how to donate and also gives you the chance to opt for Gift Aid, which would make your valuable contribution worth even more if you are a taxpayer.
Many thanks in advance for your support.
Best wishes,
Keith Nockels
