I shall be running another marathon in October, this time along the sunny seafront of Bournemouth and Boscombe Beaches. So the long-runs have recommenced, after a bit of a break since the London Marathon.
I got withdrawal symptoms pretty quickly after the London Marathon - doing gym classes and weights during the week is great fun and I love it, but I missed my long-runs at the weekend, so needed to sign up for another marathon. Yay - happy Jess :-) I will be running for Dentaid again - to raise funds for my trip in November.
There's less than five months until I return to Cambodia, to provide pain-relieving dental treatment to those who have no access to it. This is a cause very close to my heart, having been to Cambodia before, during my dental elective. Volunteering in an impoverished country and using my skills to help people is such a rewarding experience.
I will be volunteering with the dental charity 'Dentaid' (http://www.dentaid.org), who send volunteers all over the world to provide safe dental treatment to those in need. Countries visited include: Uganda, Malawi, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Romania, Timor Leste, and of course Cambodia!
The generous donations from the public allow Dentists to provide safe and effective treatment in these countries. To donate for my Cambodia trip, please follow this link: https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/jessicascott1
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, both online and offline - you have helped raise over £1600! However, there's still a way to go, to reach my target of £2500.
Please please please click on the link, it only takes a few minutes, and you will help make a global difference to the worldwide smiles!!
Thank you,
