Fiona Oakes completes Marathon des Sables

Taking on Marathon des Sables is a challenge enough for even the most accomplished of athletes, but Fiona has overcome further challenges and still completed this astounding undertaking.

 A few days before the event started, a horse Fiona was caring for accidentally stood on her foot causing a fracture.  She went ahead as normal and a few days later was at the start line.  An allergic reaction to her socks caused an inflammation which lasted for days.
