Hello,
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!
The Marathon Des Sables is regarded as the 'toughest foot-race on earth' it covers 151 miles over six days. The race takes place in march/april 2009 in the sahara desert. Temperatures can rise to 120°F; the terrain is uneven and 15-20% of the distance is over sand dunes. Competitors must carry everything required for the entire race (apart from water and a tent) on their backs...... should be easy ;-)
The why? to raise £6,000 for MENCAP; the uk's leading learning disabilities charity who carry out amazing support and provide opportunities to individuals, their families and carers.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mencap 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,
Cheers
Jon
