Dr. Davina Sharma summarised her 2010 experience in a few words:
"I have so many great memories but finishing in Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tower was the perfect way to end. I really felt quite emotional by the end of it all. I was so pleased I was able to support Doctors of the World and their vital work; it is a great and important charity."
