<p>Next April I will attempt in the Moroccan Sahara, The Marathon des Sables (<a href="http://www.darbaroud.com">www.darbaroud.com</a>) . Dubbed 'the toughest footrace on earth', it covers approximately 250km over 6 days.</p>
<p>Loosing the weight gained for my swims was too long a process for my taste, and since I was caught moving a treadmill inside the sauna, taking a vacation for a little run was naturally the easiest and only solution.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana;">Again I want to dedicate my challenge to</span> <span style="font-size: small; color: #ff0000; font-family: Verdana;">Whizz kidz</span> <span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana;">(</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: x-small; color: #0000ff; font-family: Verdana;">http://www.whizz-kidz.org.uk/</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana;">), an association which gives the chance to disabled children to lead a better life by providing them adequate equipments. </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some "trip details" to motivate your donation ?<br />- no cold water this time, but 50C air temperature while climbing steep dunes and possible sand storms</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- 15kg backpack with all food and equipment/clothes for a self-sufficiency race </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Water supply limited to 12 liters per day. (no surprise, if I grow again a beard)</p>
<p>- No jelly fish this time, but scorpios, snakes and other delicatesseen that require us to carry an anti-venom pump...</p>
<p>- Extract of the race booklet "<em>Necessary fees required for transport in case of death: 1525Euros" </em>(I will be careful Mum I swear<em>....</em>)</p>
<p>- oh, and I forgot, I never ran a marathon before</p>
<p> </p>
