Doing T
he Impossible - For Children with Impossible Challenges
Running for the children
I am about to embark on the craziest and most difficult endeavour of my life. I will participate in the toughest foot race on earth, the Marathon des Sables, in the Sahara desert, Morocco. This week-long event will be several times harder than the hardest marathon I have ever run. The Marathon des Sables takes place over the course of one week. 800 people from different countries take part. They must each complete 252 kilometres in the Sahara desert, with temperatures sometimes reaching the 50s Celsius, carrying on their backs their clothes, sleeping bag, mattress, first aid kit and emergency flare, entire supply of food for one week, and water for each stage. I will be running the race in April 2012, in order to raise US$1Million for Zichron Menachem, the Jerusalem home for children with cancer. I hope that you will show your support for my efforts for these unfortunate children, by sponsoring me for this event. I need 20,000 people to each donate $50 in order to reach my goal. Please help me by donating and passing the word on to ALL of your contacts. Thank you!!

Zichron Menachem is the Israeli association for
the support of children with cancer, and their families. It offers immediate, practical and long-term solutions to the wide range of problems
that must be overcome from the moment
that a child has been diagnosed with
cancer. The organization is headquartered in Jerusalem and operates in all major Israeli hospitals.
It is always hard to find the money, but I ask you to donate generously for this very worthy cause. Please donate at least 180 sheqels or $50. I am going to need 20,000 donations to reach my goal.
Please note: It will cost me a lot of money to participate in the Sahara marathon - around $7000 in total, for registration, flights and special equipment. I am paying those costs. 100% of your donation will go to Zichron Menachem - the home for children with cancer.
Please donate by clicking on the "Zichron Menachem" logo below and filling in the form. Be sure to write "For the David Oberman MdS fund" in the "Earmark this donation" box:
