Story

On the 14th April 2024 ,I'm taking on the infamous Marathon Des Sables to raise money and awareness for the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association, a charity close to my heart.

Lung Fibrosis, also called pulmonary fibrosis, is a serious and life-limiting lung condition that occurs in adults that impacts on a patients lung function where the only possible cure is a lung transplant.

The Marathon Des Sables is billed as the toughest foot race on earth. Competitors have to take on six marathons in six days across the scorching Sahara Desert, covering over 250km, in temperatures rising up to 50 degrees Celsius.

The rules require you to be self-sufficient, to carry with you on your back everything except water that you need to survive for the 6 days.

I would be hugely grateful for any support you can provide. Every donation no matter how big or small helps.

Thank you,

Jason
