Sahara Desert Trek – My Toughest & Biggest Challenge Yet!!

In November 2025 it will be 5 years since the passing of my beautiful Mum, it will also have been her 76th birthday. To celebrate/honour her and to raise vital funds for the Alzheimer’s Society with Global Adventure Challenges, I'll be trekking for 4 days in one of the most breathtaking and largest deserts in the world – the Sahara! It will not be a holiday, it will be hot, there will be long days trekking, sleeping under canvas, as well as sand dunes and storms in this beautiful but tough ever-changing landscape.

Crazy – maybe?! Excited – ABSOLUTELY!!

Many of you know that my little mum passed from Alzheimer’s Disease, what most of you don’t know is how much dementia has been tearing through that side of the family. My great grandmother, grandfather and some of my mum's siblings. Complex Alzheimer’s stripped my witty and stunning mumma bear of all of her personality, ability to talk, look after herself, maintain relationships, her dignity, her memories of her whole life and recognition of some of the most important people in it. It didn’t stop there - it took her completely, there was no timeline, there was no cure, she did not get better. She went to the very end of line where there was nothing left cognitively at all.

I ask if you can please support me with this challenge and donate (no matter how small or how big) to help find a cure and research into this cruel and horrible disease. It's too late for my little mum but not for yours, your loved ones or maybe even yourself.

With all my love and gratitude in advance, Nic xx
