Mencap- Marathon des Sables 2010 · 20 March 2010 ·

Serving in fire and rescue can take its toll - on the body, the mind and on family life. We're here for people in all fire and rescue roles, giving the care and support they deserve, during and after service.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I will be competing in the Marathon Des Sable in 2010 money raised will not be used to fund this trip. The marathon consists of 150 miles accross the Sahara desert in 5 days virtually a marathon a day. I will be carrying all my own gear for the week apart from my tent , water is rationed throughout the week. One of the rules states that if you receive 2 IntraVenues drips throughout the week you will be pulled out. This is a daunting challenge but hopefully a worth while one, especially with the recent injury to a Fire Fighter in Bolton Steve Morris who was very badly burnt whilst rescuing a family from a house fire.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Fire Fighters Charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
