The Marathon des Sables

This April I will be competing in the Marathon des Sables, an event often described as the "toughest foot-race on Earth" in aid of St Michael's Hospice.

It involves running/walking/crawling 155 miles across the Sahara Desert in temperatures of up to 45 degrees. I will have to carry all of my kit for the week; including all food, cooking equipment, water, a flare, an anti venom pump and unsurprisingly for a man of my tanning abilities suncream, lots of suncream.

About St Michael's Hospice
I will be running in aid of St Michael's Hospice, a fantastic charity which provides palliative care, to individuals with life-limiting illnesses, and their families in the south east of England.

I have set myself an ambitious fundraising target of £10,000, which is the amount the hospice needs to raise from voluntary donations in order to provide just one day's care.

So please help me reach and the hospice reach this target and make a donation via this link: www.justgiving.com/leoavery
