My 100km trek in the Sahara Desert for CoppaFeel!

Alice Gibbons is raising money for CoppaFeel!

CoppaTrek! Sahara Desert · 8 November 2025 to 16 November 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

This November, our fabulous CoppaFeel! trekkers will be taking on 100km over 5 days in the Sahara Desert, all in the name of chest checking!

Story

This year, I will be taking on one of my biggest challenges, that will push me to my limits: hiking 100km/63 miles through the breathtaking Sahara desert 🏜️ as part of the coppatrek in November 2025 with Gi Fletcher and a few other famous faces 👍🏻

As a lot of you may know. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of 2018, then a year later, had the devastating news that my cancer had spread and now incurable. So for me this seems the perfect challenge to complete and raise as much money as I can for Coppafeel charity. 🌸

🎀Why Coppafeel?

Early detection can save lives! Coppafeel plays a vital role in educating young people the importance of checking themselves, helping more cases to be caught early, where treatment is most effective!

🥾The Trek:

Over 5 days , I’ll trek through the incredible Sahara desert 🐪 passing through Morocco’s forbidding landscape punctuated by peaks, gorges, dunes and oases. At night, sleep under Africa’s star strewn skies and enjoy traditional Berber hospitality.

This challenge goes beyond the Jebel Saghro region, starting on the Maider El Kbir plateau, before ascending Jebel Zereg, and admiring the stunning views. Walking through palm gorges, the route joins the dry Rhris River and heads towards an oasis of tamarisk trees. The final days are spent trekking along the Tikertouachene River, before celebrating a successful end to the challenge in Ouarzazate.

🙏How you can help?

I have sent myself a target of £3000 to support Coppafeel.
