In November 2026, four intrepid explorers will embark on a challenge of a lifetime… a 50km trek across the Sahara Desert!

We will join a small caravan of Wigan & Leigh Hospice supporters to complete the 4-day challenge in Morocco! The days will be hot and the trekking will be tough, but together, we will help all our team members conquer this mammoth desert!

With traditional Berbers as our guides we’ll experience the delights of Morocco first hand, in addition to being mesmerised by the remoteness and solitude that the Sahara brings.

Our charity challenge is to trek for four days through this ever-changing landscape and to climb to the top of the massive Chegaga Dunes, where we will witness the desert sun-rise.

The four of us have set ourselves the ambitious target of raising £10,000 for this much-loved local charity.

We are looking for local businesses who may wish to sponsor us and receive recognition through our social media posts in the run up to and during the journey.

We would also appreciate any individual donations if you were able to give a little. Every penny will help us achieve our target and provide much needed funds to the Hospice.

Together, we will conquer the Sahara!
