I have just had an email from a supplier of running shoes to the British Army…
When I explained what we were doing in Siberia the response was, ‘oh, that sounds tough…and we don’t think many people would undertake this….,’ which worried me a little as if a supplier to the British Army thinks that we are nuts it is probably time to check wills and life insurance policies.
However, they have made us a very kind and generous offer for shoes which we will be taking up and it is nice to think that the technology that has been field tested by our troops around the world will get put through its paces in Siberia.
Sunday, March 4th, 2012, Philip and Trevor will be running across the frozen ice surface of the world’s largest, oldest and deepest lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia. It's generally considered one of the 10 toughest marathons in the world. Philip and Trevor are running in support of Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, a charity offering specialist and supportive care and advice for patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses in their homes.
