Jaki is trekking the Sahara for St Christopher's

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

In November 2026, I'm 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 I'm supporting St Christopher's

2026 will mark 25 years since the passing of my dear dad who died just one year after this picture was taken, and spent his last days in a hospice.

I’ve never forgotten the care he received, and now working at St. Christopher’s, I’m always in awe of the amazing care provided to people at end of life and their families. Hospice services wouldn’t survive without funding. In memory of my dad, and to help our services continue, please donate whatever you can to the biggest challenge of my life!! 

St Christopher’s Hospice exists to promote and provide skilled and compassionate palliative care of the highest quality.

Their vision is of a world in which all dying people and those close to them have access to appropriate care and support, when they need it, wherever they need it and whoever they are.

They rely on the generosity of their community, through fundraising campaigns like this, to continue providing our specialist palliative care and familiy care services free of charge.

Thank you for your support.
