<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Thank you for visiting my Just Giving Page. I have been given the opportunity to compete in what is&nbsp;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.&nbsp;I&nbsp;would like to use this opportunity&nbsp;to raise money for&nbsp;a great charity called The Pilgrim Bandits who rehabilitate amputees and wounded soldiers. <a href="http://www.pilgrimbandits.com/">http://www.pilgrimbandits.com/</a></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">&nbsp; I am very familiar with the great work these guys do and unlike a large charity with onerous admin costs, all the money you donate goes straight</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> to the people who need it so I am asking you to please give generously. This means a great deal. Thank you very much.&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>
