Sahara Trek 2026 for Herriot Hospice

From 27th October to 1st November 2026, we’ll take on the challenge of trekking through the breathtaking Sahara Desert. Over four days, we’ll cross shifting landscapes and climb the mighty Chigaga Dunes by day, and sleep under the stars by night.

Story

The Mission Behind the Miles 🏜️🧡

It won’t be easy. The heat and terrain will test us at every turn, with long days spent trekking shifting sands and enduring the desert sun. There will be moments of exhaustion, but every challenge we face is a small reminder of why we're there. The achievement of conquering the dunes with the silhouette of the High Atlas Mountains as our backdrop will be unforgettable, but the main reward will be remembering why we're there.

This journey is more than an adventure, it’s a mission to ensure Herriot Hospice can continue providing expert medical care, compassionate bereavement support, and specialist visits to local families when they need it most. Every step we take across the Sahara is powered by your kindness. While we navigate the desert, your generosity helps local people navigate their own difficult journeys.

Please consider donating today to help us turn this challenge into a lasting gift for our community. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps towards providing care when it is needed most.
