So why should you sponsor Lloyd and Shirley?

Both are determined to complete the events they enter and whilst not being the fastest marathon runners they are determined to reach the finish line whatever the event.

The Marathon des Sables is a unique event which constantly attracts the attention of the media worldwide.  The historic roots of the race, its extreme nature and location, and its international reach make it an exceptional story to follow.

Lloyd & Shirley will actively seek international newspaper, radio, TV and magazine press coverage thereby giving your company maximum brand exposure.  Sponsoring us will provide fresh media attention and rare opportunities such as phone interviews from the Sahara Desert.

The MdS organisers pursue a detailed Race PR Program, and receive extensive media interest.  The race is currently screened on Eurosport.

However, you are not really sponsoring Lloyd and Shirley but rather you are contributing to the good work performed by The Richard Hunt Foundation and the Parkinson’s Disease Society.
