Marathon Des Sables Finish

Joel Bowman (MG 2009) completed the Marathon Des Sables which he said was “utterly brutal but pretty magical too”! The race consisted of Joel running 250km (156 miles) over six days in the 40-50°C heat of the Sahara Desert while also carrying his 10kg bag with all the supplies he needed for the six days. 

Joel was participating in this race to raise funds for Myeloma UK in honour of his dad who has been living with Multiple Myeloma, a cancer that remains incurable, for the past 20 years. 

Congratulation Joel for this amazing accomplishment!
