All the profits from the race and much of the money raised by competitors are put into the Everest Marathon Fund, a UK registered charity that supports health and educational projects in rural Nepal.
Everyone will have their chance to contribute to this charity at our New Year event in Lyme Park on Saturday 4th January.
Steve is planning the courses and Sue Birkinshaw, who has been trekking in Nepal and is also a keen supporter of the fund, is organising.

Steve is not the first MDOC member to complete the Everest Marathon - Jim Trueman ran the 2007 race, also finishing in 15th overall, in a time of 5.36.28.
