Hi,
Thank you for visiting my page and supporting Mencap, the voice of people with learning disabilities.
Yesterday, 05/07/2010, I returned from the Gobi Desert, China after completing the Gobi March 2010.
The Gobi March is a 250km (155 mile) self sufficient foot race across the windiest desert in the world in just 6 days. That's 6 marathons in 6 days in temperatures that reached 55 degrees centigrade.
I completed the race in 44 hours finishing in the top third and loving the experience.
Every penny to Mencap is helping individuals with learning difficulties, their families and helpers to live in a fairer more helpful society.
Thank you
