Story
Thanks for coming to my page.
The Marathon des Sables is an ultra aka "daft" marathon and involves running 150 miles in 6 days across the Moroccan Sahara, with everything I will need on my back. I have wanted to do it for a long time and two years ago I felt physically, mentally and financially strong enough to enter. So I did and now I find myself getting the butterflies that precede a good old adventure. Naturally, given the fact I won’t be doing these things every week, I wanted to raise money for two important charities that personally mean a great deal to me and to people close to me. I have included some details about why this charity is important to me plus a link to my other site below.
I appreciate any support you are able to offer and it will make me push on when it gets tough knowing that charities will benefit from my crazy desire to run across a desert.

Leonard Cheshire supports disabled people across theand globally. The sister of one of my best mates has been supported by LC for a long time and I have always been humbled by the dedication he and his family show to the charity. LC aims to give disabled people the opportunity to live life their way. I have seen some of the results first hand and would like to support them in their goals.
