Michael has asked us to spread the word about his fantastic fundraiser for St Wilfreds Hospice. Michael explains:
“I’ve lived in the village for 25 years and ia often out running and people ask “what are you training for”……..
Whilst having a quiet drink a buddy said to me do you fancy doing the Marathon des Sables. Whoops I was on pint two and said yes l mean how hard could the toughest foot race on earth be? Being too stubborn to change my mind I’m now training for running/walking /crawling 250ks ish (barring getting lost) for six days carrying all my own supplies in the Sahara at about 40 degrees give or take a couple of c’s for April.
The trip is self financed and I thought it would be a great way to raise a pound or two for charity however if anyone wants to sponsor a shirt for me much appreciated.
At the end of the day what could possibly go wrong!

Many thanks so far for all the kind donations and good wishes.”
We wish Michael the very best of luck!!
