Issy and Ruby are trekking the Sahara for St Christopher's

Trekking across ancient dried up river beds, sand dunes and vast sun-baked plains...

In November 2026, we're venturing into the heart of the Sahara on an unforgettable trek across golden dunes and diverse desert terrain. The trip includes two full days and two half days of trekking in intense heat and camping under the stars each night. 

It will be a difficult but incredible challenge all for a good cause.

Why we're supporting St Christopher's

Dad spent his last 12 days at St Christopher's Hospice and during that time we were absolutely blown away by the love and care given to Dad and all of us as a family. The dedication and selflessness of all the staff was extraordinary. At an extremely sad and overwhelming time, St Christopher's gave Dad and us total support and love when we needed it the most.

St Christopher's Hospice is proud to offer world class palliative and end of life care to everyone who needs it, whenever or wherever that may be and are also here for the people closest to you.  St Christopher's is a registered charity and so every donation is needed in order for this amazing place to survive.  Please give generously.  This is for you Dad -  the very best Dad, the most wonderful husband and doting Grandpa. We will think of you every step of the way.  Love you. xxx
