Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

A bit about the MdS and Scope below

In just six days you will run over 250km / 156 miles through endless dunes, over rocky jebels, and across white-hot salt plains. The sun will be your constant enemy with temperatures regularly reaching 50 centigrade. The sand will be your constant companion, clouds of it under your feet, sheets of it stinging your eyes and lots of it chafing where it shouldn’t. The long stage has become a legend in itself. You will run out of a Saharan morning, into the dusk and then the dark, many not finishing the 80+km (52 miles) till well into the next day. Your feet will swell, crack and bleed under the pressure and the heat. But none of this will matter when you cross the finishing line..

Any donation is greatly appreciated and all the money raised will go directly to Scope.  They do great work for a lot of people
