Story

2024 Update:

Blimey—4 long years after I was originally meant to be undertaking this challenge, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!

After cancellations due to: COVID; Russia's invasion of Ukraine; getting married; and moving house last year.

All trip costs have been paid up, and the only thing left to do is train. This thing is happening, and it's happening soon—03-07 November 2024!

Massive thanks to anybody who already donated previously, you're all amazing! All those donations still count, and will still be reflected on this page now that I've managed to get it re-opened for business (it had been so long since the original due date, that I had to open a support ticket to get the page back online).

Wish me luck!

Original story:

Cancer has left some pretty big holes in my life over the years (not to mention the scary near misses). Chances are, anyone reading this will have been affected, directly or indirectly, by it at some point. So, this November I'll be helping take the fight to cancer by trekking 100km of the Sahara Desert in Morocco, over 5 days, to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. I'm covering the costs of the trek myself, so any funds raised through this page will go straight to Cancer Research.

Can't afford to donate right now? No problem, you can still help me out by giving this a share, to help reach as many people as possible!

Thanks in advance - wish me luck!

Steve
