Marahaba - Welcome to our Fundraising Jordan Trek

We are a team of six hopefully soon to be physically fit individuals raising money for "Young Minds" An organisation that provides for young people with mental health issues, giving people the space and confidence to get their voices heard and change the world we live in. Creating a world where no person feels alone with their Mental Health. 

1 in 6 Children aged five to sixteen were identified as having a probable mental health problem in July 2020.

We aim to help by embarking on a challenging trek and although we don't have to be world class hikers or rock climbers, we do require a moderate level of fitness and strength. There is no shade, so not only are a hat and sun cream required, but strength of character to plough on in intense heat! 

The trek combines history, traditional culture and a chance to challenge ourselves. Our journey through Jordan comprisies of three days hiking "off-road" along some of the worlds most scenic, and to us, challenging trails. The distances that we will be trekking vary from 14 - 20 kilometers over a range of terrains - Comfortable hiking boots, backpacks and walking poles at the ready!

At night we will sleep in desert camps, basic but comfortable, hopefully. I mean what more can we ask for? Extra warm layers for those cold desert nights maybe!

For those of you who know us this is completely out of our comfort zone. Please wish us good luck and help us by helping support Young Minds
