In a few weeks, John Hibberd (GD
- D683) is running the toughest Foot race in the world,
the 22nd MARATHON DES SABLES in Morocco, which is 6 London
marathons across the desert in 7 days.
His personal message:
On June 15th 2004 my brother in law Lee Wild died unexpectedly
and instantly from a heart condition he did not know he
had. Lee was 40 and he loved and lived life to the full.
He loved the outdoors and traveling. I am attempting to
run this race in the memory of Lee.
The training and fundraising are going well.My training
blog is at http://johnhibberd.blogspot.com/ if you are
interested. I have another race night! February 3rd 07.
7.30pm @ Colchester fire Station. £5 a ticket.
