My story

After ballooning up to over 22st I've decided drastic action is required so i've entered the Marathon des Sables in 2009.

The Marathon des Sables is a 150 mile foot race accross the Sahara in Southern Morocco. Competitors have to carry all their own equipment (including food, sleeping bags and daily water rations), over 6 stages of varying lengths from 10 miles to 50 miles, in temperatures varying from 45degC to -5degC.

Hopefully with this hanging over my head, and the potential of a painful death, it might give me the kick in the arse I need to get in shape!!

Keep up to date with my progress at www.mattruns.com

I am running for Yorkshire Cancer Research as everyone is touched by cancer in some form, and with their reserch carried out regionally in Yorkshire they are helping fight cancer internationally.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Yorkshire Cancer Research 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.
