Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Im going to attempt to run the Marathon des Sable on March 31st 2011 - The 'toughest race on earth' is a 6 day 254km footrace across the Sahara desert. I have to carry my own food and clothes on my back, and run 6 marathons, including one lovely 91km double marathon, and since i'll probably die alone in a sandstorm, on day 3, i thought id raise money for Papyrus, the charity that researches suicide.

I'm paying for the whole thing from my own meagre resources, so i'd like to see everyone i send this to at least throwing in some cash here, even £1 is absolutely fine! ALL MONEY GOES TO THE CHARITY, NOT TO ME !

You can also bet on whether i complete the race, just contact me for odds.

If you want to see me struggle, you can read about my attempts at training in my blog
