Doctors without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres

It looks like Toby's dad will soon be headed off on another trip with MSF (the agency we Americans know as Doctors without Borders). Zimbabwe has been experiencing a severe cholera outbreak, and Garrod has volunteered to help with the recovery effort. Read the link below for more information on the situation in Zimbabwe.

Garrod has been on several trips with MSF, and has helped thousands of people affected by medical disasters and epidemics all over the world. Here is an article I found online describing his efforts back in 2002.

Please keep Garrod, Sally, and the rest of the family in your thoughts. Garrod is one of those special heros most folks only hope of becoming.
