My story
So ... inspired by the quiet courage of the families living and working on the edge of the Sahara desert, and the ability of a small charity to make a big difference to their lives, I decided to go for the big one.
And I did it - I trekked100km in the heat of the Sahara at the beginning of March to raise funds for some of the poorest but most resilient people on earth.
Watch the short video that tells their story, then please help by making a donation.
Thank you, and if you want to keep up to date with the thrills and spills of fundraising and training, and now the journey itself, please visit my blog: http://lynnestreeaidtrek.blogspot.com/
