This year we are again organizing a charity run<\/a> to raise money to vaccinate dogs in northern Malawi against rabies. About 500 people still die from this virus every year in Malawi, Africa. Worldwide, this number rises to 59,000! These deaths occur mostly in underprivileged areas. Dogs or cats carry rabies and can transmit it to humans through a scratch or bite. Rabies is preventable by vaccinating four-legged friends. Click here<\/a> for more information on rabies infection and prevention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That is the vision of this campaign. We share this ambition with Global Alliance Rabies Control (GARC)<\/a>, a partner of V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaires Sans Fronti\u00e8res-NL. Together we strive to eliminate rabies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaires Sans Fronti\u00e8res-NL contributes to #zeroby30 by setting the goal of vaccinating 80% of the dogs in northern Malawi (this is 22,000 dogs) by 2022. However, we cannot do this alone. For this, we need your help. You can do this by donating<\/a> or by testing your athletic abilities in the RUN 4 RABIES<\/a>. A run of 3, 5 or 10 km taking place in Utrecht on Sept. 26. Click here<\/a> for more information about this event. Every year 59,000 people die from rabies. We can prevent this by vaccinating. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Will you help eliminate rabies? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nZeroby 2030: No more Rabies in 2030<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Rest assured. Even if you do not live in Utrecht, you can participate. In fact, you can also participate in your own neighborhood! How to participate? You can register via this form<\/a>. You sign up, get your whole family to sponsor you, and exercise during the week of Sept. 26-30, 2022. Of course, you have to record your exercise via an app (Strava, for example), to prove to your sponsors that you made the promised effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
