Next week 20 BioMed Central employees will be taking on Nature Publishing Group in a clash of the science publishing titans, in the form of 10K charity run through Regent’s Park in London.

BioMed Central set this challenge in a bid to raise funds for our partner charity, Computer Aid International, an IT charity which refurbishes old computer equipment for use in developing countries. You can support BMC by making a donation to Computer Aid https://bit.ly/dsuw94  All contributions will go towards the cost of supplying Kenyatta University in Kenya with a container of reconditioned computer equipment, where it is urgently needed.

I think this is a very worthwhile cause.  I wouldn’t ask you to make a contribution if I do not do so first.   I want you to know that I have made a personal monetary donation, and I hope that you will too.
