I'm interested in the human body and it's diseases; I find it fascinating how a great big pile of particles can coordinate themselves in such a way as to create a living person with thoughts and feelings, but also how just one tiny blip in the genetic make-up- an extra base sequence here, or a missing amino acid there- can cause the body to malfunction in such diverse ways...

I'm a member of Cardiff St John Ambulance, and am rather into hiking, riding, jazz, and British comedy, too :-)
This expedition to Ghana will challenge me in all sorts of ways (and I like to be challenged), and I'm eager to meet and get to know people from a culture comletely different to my own, and make a difference to their lives.
