Cash for Kids is a grant-giving charity, supporting young lives from birth to 18. Our mission is to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the South Coast, Surrey and Wiltshire who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect or have additional needs.

Story

On the 24th March 2011, I will be flying to Morocco to trek across the Sahara desert in 4 days. The trek will challenge me physically and mentally. We will be trekking over 80km with local Berber guides and learning about their nomadic way of life during the challenge.

I am doing this to raise funds for Wave 105 FM’s Cash for Kids charity. Cash for kids is a charity that helps kids financially, socially, emotionally or physically disadvantaged. I firmly believe in this day and age no child should go without their basic needs being met, food, clothes, education, health needs, guidance and support for their future. Which is why I’m giving up my annual leave and funding this experience myself to support this cause. I will be trekking across the Sahara desert walking 6 hours a day in the gruelling heat. This will be a hard challenge but every step will be worth it as i will know that i will be helping children with the help they need to a better life. Please help make it possible for me to achieve this personal goal.
