Marathon des Sables · 3 April 2015

When the sun goes down the working day ends for millions of people without electricity. At the flick of a switch, lives can be instantly changed with a solar light. SolarAid wants to make real, sustainable change happen.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for supporting me whilst I train for and race in this grueling multi-stage footrace (they even call it an 'ultra-marathon') !

The Marathon des Sables takes place in one of the world's most inhospitable climates; the Sahara desert, and covers 254 km over 6 days.

I have an ambitious challenge with an ambitious fundraising goal so please help me get there!
