Campaign Story
Fund Pink Park Village -- help make a difference to women living with breast cancer
I'm entering the 10.5km run as part of the August 12th Half Marathon Bangkok 2016 to raise money for the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer Foundation http://www.qscbcfoundation.org/
The Foundation was set up by Dr Kris and Khunying Finola Chatamra, who also set up the centre which has been providing free screening and treatment to Thai women.
The Foundation is now tasking itself with building Pink Park Village, a 500million baht hospice on the outskirts of Bangkok. It will be the first centre of its kind in Thailand and will initially focus on providing palliative care. Currently women with terminal breast cancer who cannot afford to pay for private care are sent home and often spend their last days in terrible pain.
By supporting my run, you can help people access the best quality breast cancer treatment and care in Thailand.
Important stuff
- GoGetFunding is a keep-it-all site, so your donation will go to the Foundation even if I do not meet my target
- The platform charges a fee, as does PayPal, for processing -- check the FAQ for details -- I'll cover the difference
- Donations are paid immediately to my PayPal account -- I have set up the campaign to end one week after the run, if you want to make sure I actually complete it before dontating

Update posted by Greg Lowe at 04:39 amThanks for your support so far everyone. With the additional cash people have provided outside of the GoGetFunding platform, I'm just 500 baht off the target.

In celebration of finishing chemotherapy for breast cancer today, I hope this will make some small difference to someone going through similar in Thailand. Well done Greg.
