Thank you for visiting my Just Giving Page. I decided nearly three years ago that I would challenge myself and enter what is known as "The Toughest Foot Race on Earth", the Marathon Des Sables. 150 miles across the Sahara Desert, over 6 days in temperatures of up to 50 degrees, carrying all your food, water and sleeping gear. I have never been a runner as many of you know. I suffer from hot feet and am not great in the sun - not brilliant for a desert marathon! I do however want to use this event to help raise money for a testicular cancer charity in Bristol called "It's in the Bag" (http://www.uhbristol.nhs.uk/itsinthebag) via the "Above and Beyond" charity highlighted on the page. I know through personal experience the fantastic work these guys do and so I am asking you to please give generously. This means a great deal to me. Thank you very much.
