Raising money for our Sherpas

Four members of the Xtreme Everest team have already signed up to run the Bournemouth Marathon in October of this year. Money raised will be split 50:50 between the Sherpa Welfare fund and the Xtreme Everest research fund.

Mike Grocott, Dan Martin, David Howard and I are now in training. Dan tells me he is hating this running stuff! He has worked out that as long as the race is no longer than 10 km he'll be OK, longer than that and we are all in trouble! I know that Mike and he went running together whilst at a conference in Croatia last month. I lost what appeared to be my body weight in perspiration when I ran let Sunday, even though it was early in the morning. I have heard nothing from David, but he has so many ultra runs under his belt that I am sure he will just plod it out.

I blame Mike. It was his idea to do this challenge. Please make it worth our while by donating whatever you can. You can hit the donate button on the right hand side of this page, or you can text SFXE99 to 70070 with the amount you wish to donate.

Thanks for all your support.
