Marathon dressed as deep-sea divers and others, they have to take things one stage further. Take for example David Kay, boss of Wolverhamptonbased K Transport Services. David and his brother Andrew take part in quite frighteningly hard endurance races (as if marathons
were not soul-destroyingly hard enough on their own). The latest conquest for David was the 220km-long Raid Amazonie in French Guyana—five days through he heart of the Amazon. David says: "It wet a once-in-a-lifetime experience, or at least I hope it was.' "The heat was the real killer on one of the two 50km stages I ran out of water and was a right mess until got to the feeding station, but I still managed to finish the stage." David was running for two local charities; Birmingham Childrens' Hospital and the Children with Leukaemia fund. Next up is possibly a Himalayan marathon or a six-day event in the Caribbean—not, we assume, lying on the beach.
