Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I hope the need to prove that I'm not too old (for all sorts of things) peaks with this, taking part in the 2015 Marathon des Sables (MdS).  I'll be running on behalf of Clic Sergent, a children's cancer charity. 

The MdS involves 250+ km over 6 days, with varying lengths each day - the longest being approximately 90km.  Not only do I get to run in temperatures of up to 50C but I also have to carry everything I'll need for the duration, apart from water, on my back - should be about 10kg.  Follow the link for more information and take great joy in the thought that, if you're having a bad week at work in early April, there is somebody out there with sand in his pants! http://www.marathondessables.co.uk/ 

All costs are covered by me so all funds raised go straight to Clic Sargent.
