My story

Commencing on 17th June, the Gobi March is a self-supported footrace across 150 miles

of Gobi Desert in China. The race consists of 6 stages, lasting 7 days, with distances ranging

from 10 to 50 miles per stage.

Competitors are required to be fully self-supported throughout the event and must carry all

their own food, gear and clothing which they need to complete the 150 mile course.

The Gobi Desert is known for having the most extreme weather on Earth, very hot days that

reach well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and cold nights that drop below freezing.

The Gobi March definitely promises to be an experience of a lifetime, quite unlike anything

I've experienced before. Needless to say I am not competing for a place I am just trying

to get round in one piece!

Whilst running I will be raising money for the Neuroblastoma Society which is a rare form of

children's cancer.

Your sponsorship support is greatly appreciated.
