Why I'm supporting St Christopher's
In 2023, my mother spent the last days of her life at St. Christopher's. I am very grateful for the excellent care she received and St. Christopher's are very close to my heart. They provide excellent care, however they do need funding as only one third of their funds come from government. I want to raise vital funds for them and that's why I am doing this epic Sahara Trek - it will be challenging but I know it will all be worth it!
Thank you for your support.

Training walk - Camber Sands!
Sunday 4th Oct Less than 50 days to go! Where has the time gone? Last weekend I gathered with some of my fellow trekkers in Camber Sands for a training walk. It was a glorious day and we got some much needed practice walking on the sand and even on sand dunes! We did about 6 miles in total, only half of what we would be doing in the Sahara each day, but what counted was the experience, getting used to the sand, trying out our backpacks and using water bladders, gaiters etc. It was a lovely to get to know people and realise we had this common aim of doing this epic trek, eash one of us had their own personal reasons for doing it, but all of our efforts were for a great cause! Thank you again to everyone who has supported me and there is still time (but not much) if you would like to! Share
4 months to go!
Saturday 4th Jul Well, can't believe it, only just over 4 months to go! It still doesn't feel real, but I have been starting to train. One of the benefits of the recent hot weather is the conditions are great training for desert trekking! I have also recently had a lovely trip to Snowdonia and climbed Mount Snowden - all useful practice! I am trying to gradually increase my walks to the point where I can walk maybe 6-7 hours as that will be what is needed for the trekking. I still have a long way to go. But hopefully I can get to the fitness needed for the Sahara trek! I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for your support, it's greatly appreciated.Thank you to my Sponsors
