In March this year you helped me to raise £2000 for Whizz Kidz. Thank you so much for your sterling effort. It makes every mile worth the while.

This time around I'm taking part in a 6-day 250km running race across the Sahara desert and hope to raise £3 for every mile run.    I need your help to make this happen. Every penny counts and makes a real difference in the lives of these kids who do not share our good fortune of physical mobility.  

Justgiving sends your donation straight to Whizz-Kidz and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
So, if it is in your heart, please sponsor me, even if it is just for one mile, by clicking on the button below.

A great big thank you for even reading this far!

*** Below a little more about the race itself for those who are interested.  *** 

The 4 Deserts Race consists of four seven-day, 155-mile (250 km) foot races through the arduous terrain, blistering heat and frigid cold of the world's four largest deserts. The event takes in the salt plains of the Atacama in Chile, the riverbeds and hills of the Gobi in China, the undulating dunes of the Sahara in Egypt and the icy flats of Antarctica. Participants can tackle all the deserts or just one if they choose. And while organizers provide water and lay on tents each night, everyone is expected to carry their own food and other essential gear.

People from all walks of life compete. Some just want to cross the finish line, others want to win (the time difference between the front runners and the back of the field can be in excess of 50 hours by each race's end). Competitors range between 21 and 67 years of age and come from more than 130 countries. Retired banker Alasdair Morrison (and husband to the race founder Mary Gadams), has completed all 4 Deserts legs and finds personal growth in the wilderness. "These events put life into perspective in many ways," he says. "Your needs on the races are quite basic and there is a lot about everyday life that you see is superfluous."
