Never before has anyone attempted to organize 15 marathons in 15 days for 15 charities running across the Simpson Desert with up to 100 runners, all competing for the title of Simpson Desert Multimarathon legend for 2011.
In 2010 only one man finished what he started out to achieve and that was Barry Golding. Barry set out to run 15 marathons in 15 days with 3 other marathon runners. Barry not only become the first to complete 15 marathons in 15 days but he was the only one to complete the 15 marathons in 15 days. The experts said it couldn't be done and for 3 of them they were right! Although Barry proved them wrong.
On return from the Simpson Desert Barry was contacted by so many runners and people who wanted to be part of 2011, it was decided to run the event in 2011 as a race but with the added twist that in 2011 not only will the race be 15 marathons in 15 days but it will be for 15 main stream charities.
This reminded me of that episodes of the Simpsons where they build a monorail, and when it goes crazy, Krusty rips open the door and makes to jump out, only to be pulled back by Leonard Nimoy, declaring "No. The world needs laughter". I love it!

Sgt George Simpson
The 125th Pennsylvania Infantry was organized just days before the battle. The morning of September 17 found this regiment advancing into the woods just north of the Dunker Church. Their color bearer was Sergeant George Simpson. Upon entering the woods, Confederates counterattacked and almost immediately Simpson was shot down, “he fell, his death was instantaneous…covering the flag with his body and staining it with his life’s blood oozing from his right temple.” Private Boblitz picked up the flag until he was shot down, and then Sergeant Greenland retrieved it and retreated with the regiment. That flag was given to George’s family and forty-two years later a monument was built on the battlefield by the veterans of the 125th. Carved into granite is a likeness of George Simpson holding his colors. The monument was unveiled by George’s sister Miss Annie Simpson who brought the original flag back for the ceremony. The Huntington Globe reported that the flag “will wave again over the men who made the gallant and heroic charge into the Dunker Church woods…and the sight of it will revive many of the recollections and emotions of that exciting and strenuous day.”

The hair is far too big to really be me. And now that I look at it again I think my hair is darker than this. Oh well.
