My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

In 2009 I will be taking part in Marathon Des Sables, notoriously the toughest foot race on earth, to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research.

Marathon Des Sables (MdS) is a gruelling 6 day, 150 mile foot race through some of the world's most barren desert terrain in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees centigrade.

Competitors carry all their own rations, water, cooking and sleeping equipment and are to all intents and purposes entirely self sufficient.

Since Yorkshire Cancer Research (YCR) was set up in 1925, they have become the most successful regional medical research charity in the UK. They fund internationally recognised research into the cause and cure of cancer at universities and their associated teaching hospitals throughout Yorkshire.

YCR is not a regional division of a national charity - they are an independent charity, based and operating in Yorkshire only. They are still, however, at the very forefront of the international fight to find a cure for cancer.

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.

100% of all money raised will go to directly to Yorkshire Cancer Research, so please dig deep to help me raise money for this amazing charity.

Many thanks for your support.

Matt
