Trekking the Sahara · 17 January 2006

Story

I MADE IT!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm glad to say I succeeded and am now returned safe and sound.  The 8 day trip to trek in the world's largest desert was a truly amazing experience.  The Sahara is 1200 miles long and 3000 miles wide.  It covers 25% of the continent and touches Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt.  Trekking on the Moroccon side across massive salt plains and deep sand dunes was a test of both physical and psychological strength.

You can still donate on line.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cure Leukaemia will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thanks to all who have supported Cure Leukaemia through my Sahara Challenge.
