Listen, thank you for visting my justgiving page - I hope you'll support me to raise money for Medecins Sans Frontieres, an organisation dedicated to supplying medical aid under often dangerous and hostile situations. MSF are supplying essential medial aid to the people of Gaza who have suffered horrendously in the recent disproportionate military onslaught; just now almost 1000 people have been killed with over 400 women and children amongst the dead. I'm personally deeply moved by their plight and want to contribute somehow, and donating to MSF is one of the most practical things I/we can do.MSF are providing medical relief to the region's hopelessly overburdened hospitals in a lethal environment and constant threat.  

Those of you who see me regularly know I've been planning to tackle a marathon for a couple of months now, and inevitably I've been drawn back to endurancelife.com, a gloriously cavalier and adventurous bunch who "plan" variations on off-road triathlon events. On Saturday 24th January I'll be running a coastal marathon on Portland Bill on the Dorset coast; the twist on these events is that they are on varying terrain and climb and you are self-sufficient. In other words it's a marathon on crack.

The average time for this course is 4:38 but I won't tell you my target time - finishing is my priority!

Please sponsor me now!

thanks again,

Alex
