Suzanne 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

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.

Four months to go

Friday 17th Jul
It’s four months to go and time to start training for the trek. We are at the tail end of the third “heatwave” that’s now been going on for 3 weeks and I realise I’m not fond of the heat! So why am going to the Sahara??? 
I am up for the challenge (though obviously didn’t think the heat bit through) and I want to raise money for the hospice. I see and hear every day I’m in the hospice the good that is achieved with the money raised. 
So it’s a good thing, am i’m just going to have to get over the heat - maybe knowing others are supporting me will help.
