Story

I am tackling the legendary "Toughest Footrace on Earth" - Marathon des Sables 2025

What is the Marathon des Sables / MdS....

- Sahara Desert

- Temperatures up to 50 degrees

- 6 stages

- circa 250km total

- 'Long stage' = 83km / 53 miles (normally day 3)

- carrying kit and food

- 4th until 12th April

I would love to combine this with raising money for charity - choosing to support - Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) - a suicide prevention charity.

CALM have got loads of tools and resources to help people find the support needed, including a life-saving helpline for people who can’t see a way forward, have lost someone to suicide, or are worried about their friends or loved ones.

£12.20 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call

I love a challenge, and this one makes me a little nervous! I aim to post updates on here, as well as running other events to raise sponsorship
