Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. As some of you may know I am attempting to run the Marathon Des Sables, a 240 km (150 miles) endurance race, run across a section of the Sahara in southern Morocco. Starting on the 28th of March 2008, the race consists of six consecutive days of running the equivalent of a marathon a day, carrying all your food and equipment, through the heat of the Sahara Desert.

It is a fantastic opportunity to help raise funds for St Christopher's Hospice. Crystal Palace Sports Injury Centre supports the Hospice  at a number of levels, and it is great to be able to extend our involvement with them. St Christopher's are internationally renowned for the amazing work they do in the community. 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: St Christopher's Hospice will receive 100% of 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 and appreciation for your support

Warm regards

Stuart Paterson
