Well, I've run the race now and did it in a stupendous 3:45:22. I'm pleased not only with the time and the fact that I can walk again but also the generosity shown to me by my sponsors....

If you are not yet one of my sponsors then please dig deep and sponsor me online....just as I dug deep from mile 20 onwards. Oh you have to love that line!!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Tusk Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

2005 was a year of catastrophic natural tragedies.  It made us hugely aware of the impact of the forces of nature on our lives.  I have therefore chosen to run for a charity which is about conserving and respecting to world which has been given to us.

Tusk invests heavily in the future by supporting education and promoting alternative sources of income to poor pastoral communities, who now view the wildlife as a valuable asset to be protected.

Tusk is committed to supporting all living creatures in Africa through breeding programmes, providing sanctuaries, supporting and training anti-poaching units and helping to promote sustainable eco-tourism.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
