Hello and thanks for visiting my fund-raising page!

In a brave moment I decided that there must be another step beyond Ironman ... so I signed up for the Marathon des Sables 2010 (www.saharamarathon.co.uk) ... and now I’m regretting it!

The race is 151 miles across the Sahara Desert over 6 days in April with the longest nonstop stage being a cheeky 52 miles = 2 marathons! Mix in the fact that it will be 45 degrees, I have to carry all my food, clothing and sleeping bag and will be sleeping in a tent and I really am struggling to find a reason why I have signed up to this lunacy!

Luckily though I am raising money for a brilliant charity in the process:

  - BRAIN TUMOUR UK (www.braintumouruk.org.uk) – run by the mother of a school friend of mine, the late Steve Baker, which is the leading, caring charity committed to fighting brain tumours by providing support, funding research and raising awareness.  

Any contributions are hugely appreciated by Brain Tumour UK and please feel free to pass this message on to anyone else who would be interested in supporting this cause.

Thank you very much for your support,

Tim
