Story
Hi everyone!
In March 2026, I will be trekking across the Sahara Desert (about 50KM?!) To raise money for Meningitis Now in honour of a chapter in my life that changed everything. During my first year at university, I fell critically ill with Bacterial Meningitis, something I barely understood at the time. It was sudden, terrifying, and completely changed my perspective on life. While I am still processing a lot of what happened, I am incredibly grateful to be here, studying, dancing, and living again.
I am inspired to do this trek not only because it will push me mentally and physically, but it is also a chance to support a charity that has helped my family and me, and so many others. Every step I will be taking in the desert is for those still battling, for survivors, and in memory of those who didn't make it.
Thank you for supporting me on this journey <3
