My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

In March/April of 2008 I will be running the 23 rd Marathon des Sables in Morocco. I have funded this race myself , with two distinct aims in mind. Firstly to finish and secondly to raise as much money as I can for Wooden Spoon , a charity that donates funds to help disadvantaged children in the United Kingdom, which I feel very proud to represent. I will be running a distance of 150 miles over six days , carrying a backpack containing food,water, sleeping gear and essential kit , along with around 700 other competitors from around the world.My training schedule is going according to plan covering 50 to 70miles per week and I am also doing classes with British Military Fitness to build strength and stamina for the race.

Please consider making a donation however big or small to Wooden Spoon and forward this mail to as many people as you can ! It really means a lot to me .

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Wooden Spoon 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
