Hi everyone – Janette here!

This October, I’m swapping home comforts for sand dunes and starry skies as I take on an unforgettable challenge: trekking across the stunning Sahara Desert!

I’ll be joined by my lifelong friend Vanessa (who’s flying all the way from Australia to join me!) and an incredible team of Rosie May trekkers. Together, we’ll face the scorching heat and tough terrain – and we’re doing it all for a cause that’s very close to my heart.

After travelling with the Rosie May Foundation to Sri Lanka and Nepal and seeing their amazing work firsthand, I knew I had to do more. This trek is my way of giving back and raising funds to support the life-changing projects they run – from education for children in Sri Lanka to safe transport for women in Nepal and India.

Every single step we take will help bring hope, opportunity, and brighter futures to children and families who need it most.

If you’re able to support me - whether it’s a little or a lot – your donation will help keep me motivated through the training and the trek itself. Most importantly, it will go directly to projects that truly make a real difference.

I’m not just walking for the adventure – I’m walking for safer communities, stronger futures and a world where every child has the chance to thrive.

Thank you so much for your support! 🩷
