Derian House Children's Hospice provides specialist care and respite to children and young people with life-limiting or life-shortening conditions.

Story

Partnering up with the team at Global Adventure Challenges, we will be trekking through this ever-changing landscape, climbing to the top of the massive Chigaga Dunes, where we will witness the beautiful desert sun-rise.

At Derian House, we provide respite and end-of-life care to more than 400 babies, children and young people across the North West. The care we provide is free for families, but services cost £6 million to run every year with under 30% of funding we need coming from the government. Our help extends right across the family to brothers, sisters, parents and grandparents. We look after children and young people right up until their 26th birthday offering palliative care, respite stays, day care, holidays and end of life support. We continue to offer transition support for those young people who are leaving us up until their 28th birthday ensuring they have a well-established network of support in their community.

Over the 6 day challenge, we will be covering over 30 miles of the desert. The days will be hot and the trekking will be tough, but with the unrivalled support from Team Derian and Team GAC, we will conquer this mammoth desert together, all whilst raising vital funds for your local Children's Hospice!
