Hi there,
I am back from the Sahara desert, and had one of the best experiences of my life! It was harder than many of us thought it would be - imagine walking over large rocks for eight hours...ouch!
I'd just like to thank everyone who donated, it's a fantastic cause, and at the time of writing, the 23 of us who went to the desert managed to raise £46,000....and counting. An amazing total for a great charity.
The programmes will be aired on 21st December, and 28th December on MUTV, so keep your eyes peeled for it - it looks fantastic!
If you promised to donate, and are only just getting it done now, rest assured I will still be accepting sponsorship for as long as anyone is willing to sponsor me!
