David Sharpe is raising money for Wigan & Leigh Hospice

Sahara Desert Trek · 4 November 2026 ·

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Ethan has taken another opportunity to raise much needed funds for the Wigan and Leigh hospice in memory of his Aunty Gail by trekking the Sahara Desert.

In November Ethan will embark on a 4 day hike across the challenging terrain of the Sahara Desert in an effort to raise £4000 to help toward the day to day cost of running the hospice and caring for those in need.

Being under 18, Ethan requires a responsible adult to trek with him. He couldn't find one, so I am taking to opportunity to experience this fantastic challenge with him.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

The trek will be hard, and your help is so very much appreciated not only by Ethan and me but every one at the Wigan and Leigh Hospice where your donation will help care for people experiencing the hardest time of their lives.

Thank you

Ethan & David
