I will be running the Marrathon De Sables in 2008. Known as the toughest footrace on earth, the race covers 151miles over 6 days through the Sahara Dessert in Morrocco.

I will carry everything I  need on my back for the duration, including food, in a rucksack.

I will be running on uneven, rocky ground as well as sand dunes in temperatures of up to 120 oF.

So please sponsor me as this is going to be a hard one!

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

Thanks for your support

Mark
