Hello I'm Kayleigh and I am currently a 2nd year student nurse. As part of my course I will be spending my 4 week placement in August 2018 in Nepal. This involves 3 weeks working in a hospital in the city of Pokhara  and 1 week working in a village in the Himalayas.
I am taking my trip with Work the World, a reputable company who have been conducting healthcare trips to developing countries for over a decade. 
I am hoping to gain experience practicing various nursing skills in a low-resource hospital and get first-hand experience of a very different clinical setting to that of the UK. 
I have already raised £235 towards my trip by participating in the Cambridge half marathon on March 4th 2018, which i completed in 2:52:03. 
The total cost of the trip is approximately £4000, which includes the fees for the trip, flights, visa, vaccinations, supplies for the trip and money for when I'm there. 
I would be gratefull for any donations towards this opportunity.
