<p>Hi Everyone!</p> <p>I will be trekking across the Sahara Desert in March 2013 to raise money for War Child. I was previously going to do the Atlas Mountain Climb in May 2012, but I have decided to change the event to give me more time to raise the money, so please ignore the event info on my page.</p> <p><strong>War Child</strong>&nbsp;is a non-governmental organisation founded in the UK 1993, which focuses on providing assistance to children in areas of conflict and post-conflict.&nbsp;I want to do this to help those in unfortunate War Zone areas such as Congo and Uganda, to give the children an education, a shelter and a place to grow up as children and not in a war zone.&nbsp;</p> <p>A Summary of the challange ahead for me;</p> <p><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #636363; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">You'll spend your first day crossing the Maider El Kbir plateau, passing rose dunes en route. The region is speckled with the tents of nomadic people, who move here once the first snows start falling on the High Atlas Mountains.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #636363; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: #fefefe;">A challenging climb up Jebel Lamrakeb is rewarded with spectacular views of the multi-coloured rocky desert landscape. Walking through palm gorges, you'll join the dry Rhris River. Guided by the river, you head towards an oasis of tamarisk trees. As you make your way to the dunes of Boula&agrave;dam, you'll have the chance to visit nomadic caves and tents.&nbsp;</span><br style="color: #636363; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: #fefefe;"><br style="color: #636363; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: #fefefe;"><span style="color: #636363; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: #fefefe;">You spend your final walking day trekking along the Tikertouachene River, until you meet the main road where you will be driven back to Ouarzazate </span></p> <p><span style="color: #636363; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: #fefefe;">In total, I will be walking a 100km over 6 days</span></p> <p>A video to show the challange ahead for me,</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWSbbObsZkY&amp;amp;amp;list=UUiITEJ4TRWTpOKLGgycn_qA&amp;amp;amp;index=1&amp;amp;amp;feature=plcp">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWSbbObsZkY&amp;list=UUiITEJ4TRWTpOKLGgycn_qA&amp;index=1&amp;feature=plcp</a></p> <p><strong><br></strong></p>
