Marathon des Sables · 19 October 2007

We are the only UK lung cancer charity dedicated to helping everyone affected by the disease. We fund essential research and provide much needed support, information and advice. We raise awareness and challenge the misconceptions of lung cancer. We do all this so those affected can expect better.

Story

Thanks for dropping in!. Help me to raise more money than the sweepstake on me getting forever lost in the desert by pledging here.

WHAT? A 160 mile 'run' across the Sahara Desert, in 120 degree heat, carrying food, water and spare pants. If I get overtaken by the camels bringing up the rear; it'll be an early bath and lifetime of mickey taking.

WHY? Some muppet bought up the subject of approaching 40. Not being able to afford a sports car I opted for a ridiculous test of physical and mental endurance; despite never have displayed much of either

WHEN? March 30th 2008. Thats only 'ages away' if you don't on that day need to be able to run 160 miles, carrying blah blah blah

FOR WHO? The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation who will get your money safely and securely along with an extra 28% in tax added at no cost to you. Please consider: Lung Cancer affects ALL people (thats non-smokers) and because of misperceptions about this, is a relatively under-supported cause.  Many thanks for your support!!
