The Marathon Des Sables for Cancer

Malcolms are pleased to support Darren Walsh from Cambourne, running The Marathon Des Sables for Cancer Research.

One of the toughest races in the world, more than 1,000 runners, carry their own backpack, food and water. Running 230 km covered in 6days with temperatures up to 50degrees Celsius in the Sahara desert.At one point the runners complete a non stop marathon of 76km within a maximum of 34 hours. Organisers have to stock up on 120 litres of water for this stage and 6. 1/2 km of sticking plaster! We feel this is a truly amazing way of drawing attention to and raising money for Cancer research.

“We will all be touched by Cancer during our lives; I have lost my Father and Grandfather, my wife has lost her Father and Sister. My aim is to raise £10,000 to support Cancer Research, if you can support me please visit: www.justgiving.com/DarrenWelsh”
