John W's fundraiser for Action4Youth

John W Riddell is raising money for Action4Youth
A dedicated team of nine fundraisers is taking on a tough challenge: trekking over 20km per day across Namibia’s dramatic Skeleton Coast.

Story

On 17th January 2026 I will be joining a team taking on a tough challenge, trekking 100km across the breathtaking but unforgiving landscapes of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast.

Our challenge will begin in Walvis Bay, Namibia. We will trek 20km per day, wild camping along the way, until we reach the Eduard Bohlen shipwreck. The terrain will be remote, rugged, and constantly changing.

Two years ago, our group completed the Wadi Rum Trek and raised over £20,000 for Action4Youth. Now, we’re aiming to match or exceed that and I’m proud to be part of this new expedition.

Why we’re doing this:

Action4Youth transforms young lives through programmes that build confidence, resilience, skills, and provides real opportunities. Their support helps young people discover their strengths, overcome challenges, and build brighter futures. By sponsoring me, you’re helping to give them the chances they deserve.

Every penny raised on this page goes directly to supporting their work.

Thank you for supporting this challenge
