We have two great race events you can participate in for free and raise money to fund a life-saving or life-changing operation for a child in a developing country. The doctors and surgeons that Humanity Direct works with post patient profiles on the Humanity Direct website. Once a patient profile is listed, fundraisers and donors can raise the money required to make the surgery a reality. The doctors also provide updates on the patients so that as a fundraiser or donor, you can see the difference you’ve made.
