Running for Greenfingers, 11 April 2017

Story

This year I will run across one of the most hostile environments on earth, the Sahara Desert.

The distance 26.2 miles.

Twice.

On the 10th October I fly out of Stansted  Airport to Marrakech, after an 8 hour transfer I will find myself in the heart of the Sahara Desert. My aim to run to the Nakhla Dunes a total of 52.4 miles.

Through out the year my training will see me regain fitness and shape up for the fundraising challenge of a life time.

I am raising money for Greenfingers Charity who are celebrating their 20th year, a Charity that has and will continue to create beautiful gardens and outside spaces for those in need.

Please take the time to sponsor me your donations change lives.

Greenfingers are a national charity dedicated to supporting children who spend time in hospices around the UK, along with their families, by creating inspiring gardens
for them to relax in and benefit from.
We create
beautiful, well-designed outdoor spaces for children to enjoy with their
family, friends and siblings, whether through play and fun, or therapeutic rest
and relaxation. 

Thank you !
