The Arsenal Foundation uses the power of football and the Arsenal name to inspire and support young people in London and across the globe. In partnership with Save the Children, they have co-developed the ground-breaking Coaching for Life programme which utilises football to improve the mental wellbeing of children affected by conflict and violence. I am going to join Arsenal Legends David Seaman and Per Mertesacker, and 100 fellow fans to demonstrate my support for Arsenal and the Arsenal Foundation. I will push myself out of my comfort zone; during this trek I will:

- carry my own backpack, first aid kit during 6-8 hours a day

- trek through the desert with temperatures reaching to 26 degrees during the day and 12 degrees at night.

I feel so privileged and excited to have been given this opportunity to complete this challenge. This is truly unique experience and a once-in-a-lifetime challenge:

- a spectacular yet challenging trek across the mesmerising landscape of Jordan, from the beautiful Dead Sea to the lost city of Petra, camping under the stars.

- accompanied by Bedouin guides, the trek takes participants through mountain and desert terrain using ancient trails.
