I am participating in the Marathon des Sables in March 2022 to raise funds for Action Against Hunger.

Described as the 'toughest foot race on earth', I'll need to complete six marathons in five days across the Sahara Desert, carrying all my food, sleeping equipment, and other provisions on my back.

Why am I doing it? Two reasons; 1) to set myself a challenge that pushes the boundaries of what I think I am capable of, and 2) to raise funds for Action Against Hunger. Currently 1 in 9 people globally are either hungry or malnourished, and 1 child dies every 13 seconds from hunger. This has to stop. None of us can solve this individually, but we can all take action to contribute to a solution.

I am partnering with Type+ to achieve this feat who is sponsoring my nutrition and training. 

Type+ provides nutritionally balanced food that is tailored to the individual's body type and goals, and organises fitness events to promote a healthy lifestyle. When someone is barking enough to do something like MDS, they also sponsor them too! For every Type+ sold, a meal is donated to someone in need. The aim is to raise £10,000 through sales and the fundraising efforts of the Type+ Tribe. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your support.
