My story

 
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I am raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and appreciate every $, pound or cent you can donate.

You will have seen my email or blog I expect by the time you get here and will know that on the 14th June this year I entered and completed a 250km 7 day, unsupported footrace across the Gobi Desert in China. It was an amazing and at times scary adventure and I feel I was it was an honour to have been able to take part.  You will see from the picture above that my feet took a real bashing!

You can see the details of the race on http://www.4deserts.com/gobimarch/  and to see the blog I wrote before and during the race check blogs for Gobi March 2009. Again thank you for any donation you make and if you know anyone who may want to donate now, please do send them this link.

with love and sore feet

Liz
