Adam, Ads and Andy are Trekking the Sahara to Fund One Full Day of care at Wigan & Leigh Hospice

Adam Vause is raising money for Wigan & Leigh Hospice

Sahara Desert Trek · 4 November 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Join Wigan & Leigh Hospice on this epic challenge as we 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! Together we will conquer the Sahara!

Story

We’ve signed up for something massive in 2026…

In 2026, I’ll be joined by our Operations Director, Adam Clowes, and Andy, Manager at BJ Bingo, as we take on one of the toughest challenges we’ve ever faced—a 4-day, 50K trek across the Sahara Desert to raise vital funds for Wigan & Leigh Hospice.

Over four days we’ll be trekking for hours in scorching temperatures, climbing towering sand dunes, and sleeping under the stars. It will push us physically, mentally, and emotionally, but we’re doing it for something far greater than ourselves.

It costs £12,000 every single day to keep Wigan & Leigh Hospice running. That funds the nurses, specialist care teams, equipment, and everything needed to provide comfort, dignity, and support to people and families during the most difficult moments of their lives.

Although I don’t have a personal connection to the hospice, I know the incredible difference they make to families throughout our community. We want to do our part to help ensure they can continue providing that exceptional care for years to come.

Our goal is simple, but incredibly meaningful: to raise at least £12,000—enough to fund one full day of hospice care.

One day of compassion.

One day of expert support.

One day of peace when it matters most.

We’ll be sharing the entire journey—from months of training (with a little help from our AI coach, B.O.B.) through to every step across the Sahara Desert.

A huge thank you also goes to our amazing sponsors. Your generosity and support are helping make this challenge possible, and every contribution brings us one step closer to funding an entire day of hospice care.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, you’ll be helping make a real difference to local families when they need it most.

One day can mean everything. Let’s make it happen together.

Thank you so much for your support.
