155 miles through the Sahara
Fundraising for Parkinson’s UK
Story
As many of you know, I will be travelling
to Morocco on 1 April to participate in the 25th Marathon des Sables. This will
involve running 155 miles through the Sahara over 7 days, carrying all my gear
and with temperatures probably into the 40°Cs.
Why the Parkinson's Disease Society? My dad has had Parkinson's Disease for many years now, more recently complicated by Parkinson's dementia. It's an awful disease and has been tough on the family, especially my mum, who remains the main care-giver.
Given the magnitude of the task in hand, I’m hoping for loads of sponsorship (fyi I am funding the cost of the event myself). I have decided to run on behalf of three organisations, which mean a great deal to me. This page gives details of how to give to the Parkinson's Disease Society - if you'd prefer the Dom Pardey Trust or the Egmont Trust pages, click on this link.
