The Marathon des Sables is a 150 mile foot race across the Sahara desert. It is a self sufficiency race so you have to carry all your food, clothes, cooking equipment, washing equipment and compulsory items in a rucksack on your back. You are allocated water at check points along the route. It gets very hot, 45 - 50 degrees and very cold at night!
The race is the toughest foot race in the world.
I am taking part to raise much needed funds for the Leicester Animal Aid at Huncote. They are a fantastic charity taking in dogs and cats and rehoming where possible. They never put a healthy animal down. Unfortunately to keep the animals in their care they need a whole heap of money which is what I aim to raise with your help.
Please can you donate whatever you are able to afford to this very worthy cause. They and I appreciate your generosity greatly.
Thanks
