NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon

Hi, I’m Floralba Duka. I earned my Medical Doctor degree in North Macedonia, and I’m now pursuing a Master of Public Health at SUNY Downstate, with a concentration in epidemiology and biostatistics.

I was drawn to public health by witnessing how a person's circumstances can shape the care that they receive, or if they receive care at all. Before continuing my lifelong journey as a physician while advocating for these inequities, I want to celebrate my graduation in a way that gives back. 

I’m running the Brooklyn Half Marathon to raise funds for the Brooklyn Free Clinic, a student-run clinic that provides free care to uninsured people in Brooklyn by reducing health disparities through medical care, preventive services, and health education. A cause close to my heart. 

I would be the happiest if you would celebrate this milestone with me and donate. Thank you for supporting something that means so much to me and for celebrating this accomplishment with me!
