Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page You are awesome!

I am currently training to run the Marathon Des Sables, for those of you who don know what it is, its 150 miles across the Sahara desert in 6 days, carrying my own food, cooking, sleeping and emergency kit. I will be rationed 12 litres of water a day. I will suffer dehydration, my feet will swell, my toe nails will probably fall off and believe it or not I will end up uglier than I am now!

But before that happens I will go through a years preparation training, I will put my wife and kids through hell, with training runs that start at mid night. Random phone calls at dawn to come and get me where ever I may be. They will be dragged to countless half and full marathons to watch me disappear over the horizon not to return for several hours while Jodie (my wife) occupies the two craziest small tree climbers in . They will be dragged to charity events to look cute and shake a tin. More importantly they won’t see or play with me for long periods of time at weekends, as in the later stages of my preparation I will be running for several hours a day at weekends.

So even though it is me that will be stood at the start line it will be made possible by the sacrifice and support of my family.

WHY? Walk once more is a charity that is working towards a future where a spinal core injury is temporary not permanent! That is a massively impressive goal well worth my time, and hopefully you will considerate it worth you donations.

Thanks for getting this far next time I see you there is a special high five coming your way!
