As a member of a five strong challenge team, I will be racing other teams through the Jebel Sahro, a dramatic and remote mountainous area on the edge of the great Sahara, one of the most amazing places on earth.

Over five days, I will bike 91km and run 43km through an environment of towering rock sculptures, steep-sided echoing gorges and dark shadowy canyons, and the occasional oasis. All I will have with me is a global positioning system, two-way radios and the blue skies above.

Please help me raise the deisired funds needed to support my charity.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Prince's Trust 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. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. Stuart Hutson.
