Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

To date I have completed the Marathon des Sables, The Brazilian Jungle Marathon, The Gobi March, The Yukon Arctic Ultra, The Oner, The Thames Meander,The Jurassic Coastal Challenge and most recently The Atacama Crossing in Chile all totalling up to approximately 1250 miles! During the Marathon des Sables I raised £12000 for the charity Facing Africa. During the Atacama Crossing I raised almost £8000 for the charity Help The Heroes. This is a cause close to my heart having had both my father and my grandfather serving in the British Army and through my work as a physiotherapist with war veterans.

At the end of August I will be running 270 miles in 4 days along the Pennine Way beginning in Scotland and ending in Manchester and at the end of Spetember I will be joining two men from Canada as a team of three to run 160 miles across the Sahara desert in Egypt.

I was so grateful for everyone's generosity on my last fundraising attempts and I would like to continue to raise money and awareness for this great cause. I would be extremely grateful for any further donations to help me raise money for this valuable cause.

I would like to thank:

INOVO group  for their generous contribution towards my race costs

Nike and Fitkit (www.fitkitpro.uk) for their sponsorship through clothing and equipment.
