My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On December 5th 2007, I will be competing in the Everest Marathon. 

This will be by far my toughest endurance challenge to date, so please dig deep and sponsor me.

The Everest Marathon is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest marathon in the world. The start line is at Gorak Shep 5184m (17,000 feet), close to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. The finish is at the Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar at 3446m (11,300 feet) and the course is a measured 42 km (26.2 miles) over rough mountain trails. It is the world's most spectacular race and has been held eleven times since 1987.

To acclimatise naturally to the high altitude, all runners join together for a 25 day trip in Nepal. This trip involves a 16 day trek to the start line alone, under medical supervision and is regarded as one of the most gruelling races in the world.

For more info on the race visit www.everestmarathon.org.uk

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hospice in the Weald 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. James
