Following on from last years successful adventure to cross the Atlantic, I've decided to do another wacky challenge - this time a 150 mile march across the Gobi desert in China. It will take place in June and will consist of approximately one marathon per day over six days in some fairly inhospitable terrain.

I've decided to run on behalf of the Huntingdon's Disease Association, a disease that I'm unfortunately to be fairly familiar with, as my dad has had it for the past ten years.

If you can give a few pounds towards this cause, I would be very grateful - please dig deep and sponsor me online.  Barclays have agreed to match the first £750 of donations.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Huntington's Disease Association 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.

Many thanks

Rob
