So, today is the day. I set off to Leeds-Bradford Airport shortly. On to Amsterdam at 1630 and then after training and briefings over the next few days I fly to Freetown in Sierra Leone before joining the Ebola project in Kailahun.

I want to thank you all very much for all of the love and support that I have been shown. I ran out of superlatives to describe my friends a long time ago, when all is said and done, you are my friends and no more needs to be said on that.

I will try to update the blog as and when I can. I will certainly be writing a new presentation upon my return and hope to have the chance to tell you the personal stories of the people suffering in this terrible outbreak and why Doctors Without Borders  is so vital to this world.

Please support my project and MSF in any way you can:

Text donate: send MSFA99 £2 to 70070

Donate via this website (where it says “sponsor me”)

Come to Burlesque Without Borders on the 29th November – have a great night and donate to MSF at the same time . Click HERE for tickets and info.

Thank you all once more and see you soon.

Andy
