Dead Sea Ultra Marathon
FRIDAY APRIL 9, 2010
On Friday 9 April a team of ten soldiers from the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment will undertake the gruelling Dead Sea Ultra Marathon. The 50k route goes from King Hussein Park in Amman, Jordan, to the Amman Tourist beach beside the Dead Sea, passing through the lowest point on earth.
Training has been interrupted by the team members preparation to go to Afghanistan later this year. In doing the run they not only lose precious leave time with their families, but are also contributing to the travel and accommodation costs, to ensure Salisbury Hospice receives every penny of the sponsorship money.
Recently RSM John Stork and SSgt Chris Attwell visited the Hospice offices to plan fundraising activities. They explained that they feel that as members of the Wiltshire community have been so generous in supporting Forces charities it was their way of giving something back, through supporting a local charity such as Salisbury Hospice.
