Chances for Children on the MDS Official Site!
Great news -- we're on the official Marathon des Sables website! The link went up on their homepage tonight. The stories rotate across the homepage and the story above links to another page for more info. This is great coverage for the fund raising efforts!
The Marathon des Sables is a 7-day (6-stage) running race across the Moroccan Sahara. Athletes run the 243k/151 mile course wearing backpacks that contain their food for 7 days, sleeping bag, and survival equipment. The temperature variations are extreme, with daytime temperatures soaring above 120F/48C and nighttime temps plunging to freezing. It's known as the toughest footrace on the planet.
