Fundraising for DM Thomas Foundation for Young
Verified by JustGiving
Thank you visiting my fundraising page.
I got back from the desert on Monday 12th April having successfully completed the 25th Marathon des Sables. I finished just after lunch on Saturday 10th having been running/shuffling/walking for 7 days to complete the 250km/156miles course. I drank 82.5 litres of water, swallowed 110 salt tablets, lost 7kg and a few toe nails, was a regular visitor at the Medical tent going through my fair share of pain killers, iodine and bandages. I was placed 520th out of 1050 competitors in a time of 49 hours 33 minutes. Frankly, I was just glad to finish..! I would be most grateful if would consider sponsoring me in this venture - any donation is very much appreciated. I aim to raise as much money as possible for Mencap, the voice of learning disability and Hilton in the Community Foundation for its projects that support disadvantaged children and young people.Thank you in advance for your support. Yours aye, Keith
