Story

In November 2026, a team of determined adventurers will travel to the Sahara Desert to take on an unforgettable trekking challenge, all in support of The Joshua Tree.

From 18th–23rd November 2026, our trekkers will journey across the Sahara’s vast and beautiful landscape, tackling miles of sand dunes, experiencing breath-taking sunrise and sunset views, and immersing themselves in local culture, all while pushing their physical and mental limits.

This challenge isn’t just about adventure. Every step taken will help The Joshua Tree continue providing essential emotional, wellbeing, and practical support to families affected by childhood cancer.

For many families, the end of hospital treatment doesn’t mean the end of the journey. The Joshua Tree acts as a essential safety net, offering open-ended support to children, parents, siblings, and wider family members, whenever they need it, for as long as they need it.

By supporting our Sahara Trek team, you’re helping to ensure no family has to face childhood cancer alone.
