<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Ok folks this is the <strong>BIG ONE</strong>! I’ve done marathon’s, triathlons and I even finished an IRONMAN! So many people ask me what next … well read on and you are about to find out…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span>Next April I will be travelling to Morocco along with a good friend and will be attempting to finish the ‘toughest footrace in the world’ – known as the <strong>Marathon Des Sables</strong>! This ultra-marathon consists of <strong>6 marathons in 5 days</strong> across a ‘little sandy beach’ known as the <strong>Sahara Dessert</strong>. Not only is the setting one of the hottest places on earth, where temperatures reach 40+ degrees, we also have to carry our own food and supplies for the week to get to the finish line. They say pictures speak a thousand words – follow this video link which will show you the enormity of what I’m about to take on. <a title="Marathon Des Sables Trailer" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fhWdJ1qoXc&amp;feature=related">#mce_temp_url#</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span>As some of you may already know my mum was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and is currently receiving treatment. <strong>My aim is to raise as much money for Macmillan Cancer Support as I can</strong>, to offer a little bit of help to her and the many others and their families who suffer from and the affects of this terrible illness.</p>
