Thanks for taking the time to visit my Marathon Des Sables JustGiving page. Hey by the way, when the video was made, I had actually just finished running 20KM.
I have choosen to take part in the toughest foot race on Planet Earth, because I want to test myself and throw myself into the deep end at the highest level. So I will be running 5.5 marathons in 6 days through the sahara desert sands and 40 degrees celcius sun carrying all my equipment including food, water, sleeping bag, towel, clothing and everything else that I will be needing to survive the 6 days!
I wanted to take part on behalf of a charity so that I can give back to the world, the world that has provided so much for me. I have chosen Yorkshire Cancer Reseach as they have a strong track record wtih supporting Marathon Des Sables runners. The proceeds that I raise will enable continuing research at the universities at Bradford, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield, York, their associated teaching hospitals and the MRI Centre at Hull Royal Infirmary.
