Funds raised will be used to purchase PPE and ensure its distribution to our teams across Nepal. If we succeed in raising over £5\,000\, the additional funds will go towards the continuing tuition fees of our students. It is extremely challenging for us to raise funds in these extraordinary times\, so we ask you to dig as deep as you can\, to help these forgotten communities. \nThe number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nepal continues to rise with total number of reported cases (as of September 26th) 70\,616 and 459 deaths (although it is extremely likely that these numbers are grossly under representative of the true figures). We have done our bit to help the NHS here in the UK\, so now please help protect the most vulnerable and our very own healthcare workers in Nepal from this deadly virus. \nAUCTION STARTS 1st AUGUST 2020\, 0900 AUCTION ENDS 2nd October 2020 2300\nCLICK HERE to start bidding\nAMAZING PRIZES TO BE WON:\n1 week’s stay in beautiful 300 year old rustic house in Provence\, France \n1 night’s stay on fabulous houseboat – Shoreham-by-Sea\, West Sussex \n1 night’s stay in private camping glade in Wilderness Wood\, East Sussex \n  \n  \n1 hour flight for 1 above the Seven Sisters\, East Sussex URL:https://doctorsfornepal.org/event/silent-online-auction-to-raise-funds-for-ppe-in-nepal/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://doctorsfornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/French-house.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200508 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200511 DTSTAMP:20260420T130011 CREATED:20200104T200111Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200104T201904Z UID:4461-1588896000-1589155199@doctorsfornepal.org SUMMARY:COAST TO COAST CYCLE RIDE DESCRIPTION:PHASE WORLDWIDE COAST TO COAST CYCLE EVENT \n8 May 2020 – 11 May 2020 \n\n \nDoctors for Nepal has been given 5 places in PHASE WORLDWIDE’S Coast to Coast cycle event.\n \nThe C2C is one of the most well-known long distance cycle routes in the UK.  First taking in the stunning Lake District\, then across the Eden Valley to the beautiful Northern Pennines\, before dropping down to the post industrial landscape of the North East.\n \n\nAs there are many variations of this route\, PHASE have chosen to begin in Whitehaven and end in Sunderland (215 km/133 miles).  This will be completed over three days of cycling\, which allows for a range of abilities to be able to take part.  The challenge will begin on the morning of Friday 8th May (Bank Holiday)\, you will arrive in Sunderland on the afternoon of the Sunday.  On the Monday morning\, PHASE will transport all participants and their bikes back to the starting point at Whitehaven. \n\n\n\nThe route is comprised of specially constructed cycle paths\, off-road tracks and micro roads\, only occasionally straying onto short sections of busier roads where necessary. \n\n\n\nThe route (PHASE may later suggest slight adjustments based on advice) is available to view here \n\n\n\nPHASE will be organising accommodation for all participants on the Friday (around Penrith)\, Saturday (around Rookhope) and Sunday (Sunderland) nights in guesthouses on a shared room basis. \n\n\n\nThe PHASE support team will be on hand the whole way\, and will transport your luggage to the accommodation each night. \n\n\n\nIt is possible to complete the route on a range of different types of bike\, however as there is a mix of terrain\, a hybrid type bike may be most useful.

This is not an easy ride the North Face ride is 95km with an ascent of 1\,710m\, and the South Face ride is 125km with an ascent of 1\,660m. It is challenging in places with steep ramps and the amount of climbing involved means that the cycling will be long\, hard and will require stamina. \nBut just imagine what it’s like for people such as our doctors and students\, living in the remote villages in Nepal. Sometimes they have to walk for 9 days to reach their nearest health-post\, and it’s not guaranteed there will be a doctor there to treat them. They then must walk 9 days to get home again once treated.  \nClick HERE to download our INFORMATION SHEET \nFor more information and to register\, please contact cesca@doctorsfornepal.org \n  \n  URL:https://doctorsfornepal.org/event/doctors-for-nepal-charity-bike-ride/ LOCATION:Hawes\, Hawes\, North Yorkshire\, DL8\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://doctorsfornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/813x521-bike-ad.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Doctors for Nepal":MAILTO:cesca@doctorsfornepal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20190309T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20190309T210000 DTSTAMP:20260420T130011 CREATED:20190220T171023Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190220T172640Z UID:4032-1552158000-1552165200@doctorsfornepal.org SUMMARY:Concert in aid of Doctors for Nepal DESCRIPTION:HAYDN’S NELSON MASS \nA fabulous concert is being held on SATURDAY 9 MARCH 2019 at 7pm in St Mark’s Church\, Alma Road\, Reigate RH2 0DA \nCANTAMUS REIGATE CHOIR and ASHFORD BAROQUE ENSEMBLE directed by NICK LANDAUER are very kindly donating their talent and time to perform the following: \nHAYDN: NELSON MASS \nWILLIAMSON: PROCESSION OF PSALMS \nand music by HOWARD GOODALL and others \nAdmission: by programme  £12 on the door (concessions £10\, students and U18s free) \nAny proceeds and a retiring collection will go to Doctors for Nepal for which we are extremely grateful.

A great day out for runners and spectators alike. \nHere’s the reason why one of our team\, Richard\, has decided to run this year’s event and fundraise for Doctors for Nepal –  it’s a great story:\n“So I’m Richard\, and the first thing to note is that running is not my thing. Therefore doing a half marathon is a seriously big effort for me.  \nRunning may not be my thing\, however hiking is. And I am lucky enough to have spent time hiking in Nepal\, through remote communities. In this time I managed to be unlucky enough to develop a blister so large on the pressure point of my foot\, a more accurate description of it was a hole in the foot\, I literally couldn’t walk for 3 days. As a consequence of this\, luck changed again\, and I was lucky enough to experience the supreme care and hospitality of the kind Nepali villagers and doctor in the remote village in which I was stranded. Medical supplies were not plentiful and the facilities were pretty rudimentary but their care got me back on my feet in time.  The place I was stranded also happened to be in the shadow of the largest mountains you can imagine so that was a very reasonable silver lining. \nI fell in love with the country during my time there and could not fail to notice just how remote many villages were\, with basic medical facilities and expertise scattered across great distances and towering peaks and ridges. \nIt is for this reason that I want to raise money for Doctors for Nepal.” \nYou can support Richard and our other two wonderful runners by donating to their JustGiving links below.  All funds raised go directly to Doctors for Nepal: \nRichard: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/richard-savill2\nAlex:  https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/alexander-allen2\nSarah: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sarah-lovell17\n  \n  URL:https://doctorsfornepal.org/event/royal-parks-half-marathon/ LOCATION:London ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://doctorsfornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/MARATHONS/royalparkshalfmarathon-featured-320x240.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon":MAILTO:info@royalparkshalf.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180609T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180609T213000 DTSTAMP:20260420T130011 CREATED:20180424T164855Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180521T160628Z UID:3786-1528572600-1528579800@doctorsfornepal.org SUMMARY:SUMMER FUNDRAISING CONCERT DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Summer Fundraising Concert with all proceeds going to help improve healthcare in rural Nepal.   Acclaimed musicians baroque violinist Julia Bishop\, harpsichordist Howard Beach and soprano Ana-Maria Rincon\, along with the University of Chichester Baroque Orchestra will be performing as a gift to Doctors for Nepal.  Music to include: \nHANDEL – Concerto Grosso op 6 no 6 \nBACH-  Oboe and violin double concerto in C minor \nVIVALDI – ‘Summer’ from the Four Seasons \nVIVALDI – Cello concerto in C minor \nBACH – Orchestral Suite no 2 \nDATE:     SATURDAY 9th JUNE 2018 \nVENUE:  St Anne’s Church\, High Street\, Lewes BN7 1RJ \nTIME:      Doors: 7.00pm  Starts: 7.30pm \nTICKETS: £15 Adults   £8 students/under16s (booking fees apply)\nBUY TICKETS\nThere will be a voluntary donation bar and a Nepalese gift stall. \nFor more information please contact cesca@doctorsfornepal.org \nAll proceeds will go directly to help fund our medical and nursing students in Nepal URL:https://doctorsfornepal.org/event/fundraising-summer-concert/ LOCATION:St Anne’s Church\, Western Road\, Lewes\, East Sussex\, BN7 1RJ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://doctorsfornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/3.-MARCH-Nahakuls-sisters-tight-1-lowerres-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180512T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180512T170000 DTSTAMP:20260420T130011 CREATED:20171212T151335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180329T163837Z UID:3618-1526112000-1526144400@doctorsfornepal.org SUMMARY:JustWalk for Doctors for Nepal - 12th May 2018 DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY 12th MAY 2018\, JustWalk 2018 sponsored charity event.\nLast May\, TEAM DFN hiked across the beautiful South Downs National Park in West Sussex\, and managed to raise over £4\,000 in donations to provide scholarships to under-privileged medical and nursing students to train to become doctors and nurses.

Kate uncovers the additional challenges facing doctors and patients after the devastating earthquakes in 2015\, and reveals the extraordinary personal journeys of the people she meets along the way. Six months after the earthquake\, Kate returns to Nepal to see the devastation and how this has affected access to healthcare for people living in the most remote areas. Kate follows the treacherous 12-hour journey of a pregnant woman in need of urgent hospital treatment – it’s not uncommon for patients to walk for up to 9 days to reach basic healthcare. The pregnant lady is carried in a plastic chair tied to her husband’s back as he walks over the Himalayas to reach a basic hospital in Manma village. The earthquake has made these journeys even more treacherous – confrontations with landslides on the roads are an everyday occurrence. Kate visits a displacement camp in Kathmandu for those left homeless after the earthquake\, and is moved to tears by what she sees in a village high up in the Himalayas. \nFUNDRAISING screening\, Q&A and drinks with writer/presenter Kate Yarrow\, director/camera Gareth Taylor and Executive Producer/editor Cesca Eaton.  \nTickets: Adult £9  Under 25s £4 (includes complimentary drink): \nCLICK FOR TICKETS/TRAILER \n  URL:https://doctorsfornepal.org/event/fundraising-screening-at-depot-in-lewes-2/ LOCATION:Depot\, Pinwell Road\, Lewes\, East Sussex\, BN7 2JS\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://doctorsfornepal.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/NAMASTE-old-lady-still-from-film-HIRES.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180415 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180416 DTSTAMP:20260420T130012 CREATED:20170607T151322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180406T143714Z UID:3165-1523750400-1523836799@doctorsfornepal.org SUMMARY:Brighton Marathon 2018 DESCRIPTION:We have TWO fabulous runners running this year’s BRIGHTON MARATHON for Doctors for Nepal\, Lloyd and Arfin.  It will be held on SUNDAY 15th APRIL 2018\, so if you’re anywhere near Brighton please do cheer our runners on.  Lloyd is a professional musician/composer and is very committed to DFN having played so beautifully at our fundraising concert last year – we are eternally grateful for his ongoing support.  If you would like to sponsor Lloyd please visit his JustGiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/lloyd-coleman1.  All funds raised by our runners go directly to help improve healthcare in rural Nepal. \n \nHere’s what Lloyd had to say at the end of this year’s Brighton Half Marathon: \n“Congratulations to the Doctors for Nepal runners who completed the Brighton Half Marathon today.

Many thanks to those who have donated so generously already . . . . I’ve chosen Doctors for Nepal because of the vital work they do in Nepal. You will remember the awful earthquake they had there a few years ago\, which made an already challenging environment for healthcare professionals all the more difficult. Even though you or I may never experience or see the work DFN deliver first hand\, I believe supporting this work in a country far less fortunate than ours is a small but worthy contribution to make.

Conditions in rural areas must be very arduous\, trained medical professionals are hard to come by (see statistic above).
