Looking for the ultimate challenge

I woke up looking for the ultimate challenge; I went to bed registered to run the’ world’s toughest foot race’, the Marathon Des Sables.

I have a believe that anyone can achieve anything they want to with the correct training and support whatever the obstacles are that get in the way. I wanted to find the ultimate challenge which will truly test this belief.

Running 155 miles across a desert in 50 degree heat is a challenge for anyone, but adding arthritis in both knees and a shoulder into the equation and a maximum of 5 months training makes this even more of a challenge.

If you think this is a challenge, now try considerering a world where you are unable to read and writte.
