Run for Target Tuberculosis
Target Tuberculosis's vision is a world free from TB. Here in the UK we think of TB as a disease of the past but the reality is TB is still one of the world's biggest killer diseases, despite being completely preventable and curable. 2 million people will needlessly die of TB this year alone. TargetTB is based in Brighton but works with local partners in countries across Africa and Asia to reach some of the most isolated and poor people in the world and help them to survive TB.
Run for Care For The Carers
A carer is someone who accepts the responsibility of providing long term care and support for a family member, friend or neighbour who is frail, disabled, and /or has a long term illness.
