marathon des sables · 4 April 2010

We’re here for people requiring specialist end of life care in West Sussex and East Surrey, in our hospice or out in the community. Our care is only possible thanks to our local community who kindly donate and volunteer. Your incredible support means we can care for around 2,000 people every year.

Story

Thanks for pledging whatever you can.

All money raised goes to the St Catherine's Hospice in my local town, Caterham. The hospice provides specialised end of life care to help support patients, their friends, families and carers. They do a tremendous job, and it really is a worthwhile cause.

In order to raise the money, my aim is to run the Marathon des Sables in April of this year. This involves 6 marathons in 6 days, lugging all your gear, water and dried porridge with sultanas - yum. This takes place in the Sahara Desert, in Morocco. Sort of like your worst beach holiday ever. I don't even like sand. Or snakes.

It is also in memory of my good friend, Simon Grimsell, who also wanted to do this, but sadly now never will - we miss him dearly.

Thank you again - every penny is received with heartfelt thanks.

John
