Story

John Parbery, Steve Hunter, Richard Batka and Adam Wright are participating in this 'self supported' 250KM ultra marathon across the Gobi Desert. All donations go directly from JustGiving to Nepal where urgent help is needed as the Monsoon season rapidly approaches in a few weeks. The UN estimate at least 150,000 tents and tarpaulins are needed now. Over 1 million children are homeless. There are more complex levels of support required such as protecting children from trafficking. Please give generously and make a difference to these children. The ultra marathon crosses grasslands, farmlands, dirt tracks, riverbeds, rolling hills, mountain valleys, plains and plateaus. Passing through local villages and across grazing lands where shepherds tend to their flocks. All funds will go directly from JustGiving to Nepal Disaster Relief.
