The Marathon des Sables is billed as the toughest foot race on Earth: 250km across the baking Sahara desert over seven days, carrying all your own food and equipment; who am I to argue?
I've set-up a webpage for those who would like to donate to some good causes that I'm supporting all in aid of causing me pain, see: https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/bikerdom
Some would question my sanity in running 250 km across the desert. But in reality, running and exercise are great ways to get your mind in gear. I honestly didn't set out to raise money for charity, it was purely the latest chapter in my midlife crisis management plan... Volume VIII, I think. But if something good can come out of my event for those not able to do what I can, then brilliant.
I'm supporting SANE and Macmillan Cancer Support, both charities I feel connected to after some recent events, both at work and home.
