I would like to raise money and awareness for the trips conducted by Dr Lanziz Homar, Obstetrician-gynaecologist to Madagascar to improve women's healthcare in Madagascar, one of the poorest countries in the world.
Maternal mortality rates are high. 335 deaths per 100,000 live births. Maternal health clinics often do not have adequate access to necessities or properly trained health professionals. Only 19 percent of health care providers in Madagascar have an education in the basics of emergency obstetrics.
I am competing in the Sunshine Coast 70.3 Half Ironman in September this year. Please sponsor me!
All the best, Marissa!
