Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. I'd much rather prefer that you hit the "Sponsor me now" button.

As a five strong challenge team, we will be racing other teams through the Jebel Sahro, a dramatic and remote mountainous area on the edge of the great Sahara, one of the most amazing places on earth.

Over five days, we will bike 91km and run 43km through an environment of towering rock sculptures, steep-sided echoing gorges and dark shadowy canyons, and the occasional oasis. All we will have with us is a global positioning system, two-way radios and the blue skies above. Sounds idyllic - add a hill or two over twice the size of Snowden and temperature variations of +38C in the day to -6C at night and the challenge is not so straight forward!!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Prince's Trust 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. Steve Gibbons
