Organiser's Description
Join the undergrad and graduate chapters of PIH Engage at UVA to raise money to end global tuberculosis! Tuberculosis is a curable disease, yet every year millions of people die worldwide because they do not have access to treatment. Our club has pledged to raise $4000 this year to support global tuberculosis care -- that is 400 lab tests for tuberculosis, 1 month of food for 100 tuberculosis patients, or the cost of an entire 6 month TB treatment course for 8 children or adults. If you are on board, come run (or jog, wog, or walk!) with us on 11/17 at 9 AM. Wear your favorite halloween costume (or accessories) in lieu of t shirts! We have tons of prizes for top finishers and raffle winners from local businesses, so we hope you will join us for a morning of fun fighting TB!
