Dylan Armstrong is organizing this fundraiser.

Hi everyone!

My name is Dylan and I am a final year MSc Pre-reg Physiotherapy Student studying at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.

Having worked with many inspirational physiotherapist's over the course of 22 years living with Cystic Fibrosis. I have experienced the benefit of compassionate and caring professionals who have supported me to live a life unlimited. These role models inspired me to become a physiotherapist myself and I now have the goal of carrying on this exceptional care to others.

As I come to the end of my course, an opportunity of a lifetime arises by being able to complete my 6 week physiotherapy elective placement in Mauritius. This opportunity fits perfectly, aligning with my long term goal of becoming a physiotherapist. I will gain extremely valuable hands on skills through working with the experienced professionals out in Mauritius by treating local patients and athletes. Mauritius offers a rich and diverse culture as well as giving me insight into the alternative approaches to physiotherapy. I will take huge pleasure in sharing my experience and knowledge gained so that I can continue to help others within my profession.

Sport has been a massive part of my life since childhood and continues to be. This placement in particular allows me to utilise my professional knowledge and skills of physiotherapy within Mauritius's sporting environment, based at the Cote d’Or National Sports Complex. Physiotherapy as a profession is relatively new to Mauritius, with the Physiotherapy Association only being established in 2009 and with 43 current members, it is still very fresh and appreciates all support and help.

To make this possible, I am self-funding part of the trip, but I need some extra support to cover costs such as travel, accommodation, and placement fees. Any donation, no matter the size, would be greatly appreciated.
