I don't know which is more challenging - getting to grips with the internet or attempting the Marathon des Sables (MdS)

For those of you who don't know, the MdS is a foot race in the Sahara, run over stages and covering approx 152 miles, or the equivalent of over 5 marathons in 6 days.

I aim to cover the cost of the race myself, hopefully with the help of some sponsorship or contributions, so all of the money raised via this site will go to the charity, rather than covering my personal costs.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Army Benevolent Fund 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.
