Story

We're at it again, but this time upping the challenge by completing a five day, 100km trek through the Sahara Desert. The trek, described as challenging, unforgiving and life-changing, will see us walking up to 30km a day in the heat of the desert. At night, we'll be cooking on camp fires and camping under canvas. 

We are doing this to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity, a charity close to our hearts. In 2018 Jen's mum was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. She has benefited from the expertise and kindness of amazing doctors and nurses at every stage of her treatment. We would like thank them for their care and raise money for vital research and support for other families going through the same thing, so people can continue to live their lives after a brain tumour diagnosis.

This is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, they are moving further and faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. They're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. 

We really appreciate any help and support you can give us.
