Welcome

For many people a Marathon, (26 Miles) represents the ultimate in
human endurance, however perceptions are changing. Not so long ago,
the ability to compete such a distance was thought to be a capacity
confined to super humans alone, but now it is accepted that ordinary
people can complete such races. Indeed thousands of people complete
marathon events around the world each year.
It is now thought that such events as the one I am attempting to
run, The Marathon des Sables, is for these super humans. I am by
no means an elite athelete, but an average person who is prepared
to challenge his "self imposed limitations" by competing
in this 'gruelling' event.
By taking part I am aiming to raise £10,000 for Facing Africa
and Saint Michael's Hospice in Harrogate. Please browse this website
for further information on my chosen charities, the race, and what
I can expect to endure during the race itself.
