My personal message:

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: Macmillan Cancer Support will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

In March 2008 I will be competing in the Marathon Des Sables. This is a 150mile footrace across theSaharadesert and is known by many to be the toughest footrace on Earth.

Run over 6 days, it is the equivalent of running 6 marathons back-to-back in temperatures ranging from 130degress F to almost freezing.

I will be self sufficient and will have to carry all my equipment including food, clothing and emergency equipment in a pack weighting 15kg

Why am I doing this you may ask? I am doing it to support a charity very close to my heart. This charity is Macmillan Cancer Relief. A charity that gave much needed support to my brother and his family when he discovered he had skin cancer 5 years ago.

Everyone I have spoken to knows of someone who has had to deal with Cancer, so I ask if you can give generously and support myself and a well deserved charity

Many thanks for your support.
