Alex Dons his 100KM Running Shoes

Fresh from putting his problem solving skills to the test in the Stoford Challenge, Alex Morgan is stepping out for something far more stamina sapping.

The construction project manager, who was part of the Stoford Developments team hat finished in third place this year, has set himself the extraordinary task of running 100km across the South Downs in fewer than 12 hours.

Alex, along with Clive Saffrey and Rob James - friends from his time spent working in Hong Kong, will form one of the teams taking part in Trailwalker on July 19.

The annual event, which raises money for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust was first established by the Queen's Gurkha Signal Regiment in Hong Kong in 1981 as a military exercise.

It covers two days from July 19-20 to accommodate walkers from non-military teams but 'Lost in Wanchai Boys' will be aiming to start and complete the job on the first day.

Their aims and ambitions have been well-rewarded by supporters, with over £1,450 already pledged towards their target of £1,550 in just three weeks of fund raising.

Alex is no stranger to the event - last year he was one of the Lost in Wanchai team that set a new mixed team record by completing the course in 12.5 hours.

"As we were so successful in 2007, we decided to enter both a men's and women's team this year in the hope that we will raise more money," said Alex, who has been preparing with 30-mile runs each weekend.

I'm looking forward to the event - it provides a great test of endurance, stamina, teamwork, navigation and self-discipline."
