My story

 

At the end of March I will be competing in 'The Toughest Footrace on Earth'.  This is the Marathons des Sables, a race across the Sahara Desert of over 150 miles in up to 45 degree heat.  We have to carry our provisions during the week and approximately 20% of the race is on sanddunes.

ShelterBox are a fantastic charity and keep many families alive in times of disaster anywhere in the world.

All of the funding for the trip has been paid by me so none of the sponsorship money will fund the trip - as an added bonus my employer will match every pound donated!  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: Shelterbox Trust Limited 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.
