Story

🌵 Walk for Lloyd – Sahara Trek 2026 🌵

50km through the desert in memory, with purpose.

In 2026, we – the Walk for Lloyd team – will take on a huge challenge: trekking 50 kilometres across the Sahara Desert. It’s hot, harsh, and physically demanding – but it’s nothing compared to the journey many face when dealing with loss, grief, or mental health struggles.

We’re doing this in memory of Lloyd – our friend, our family, our inspiration. Since losing Lloyd, we’ve walked many miles across the UK in his name. Now, we’re going even further – pushing our limits, raising awareness, and raising funds for a cause that mattered deeply to him and to us all.

Why the Sahara?

Because it’s extreme – and so was Lloyd’s courage.

Because it’s remote – and no one should feel alone.

Because every step we take is for those who can’t.

What Are We Raising For?

We’re raising money for Meningitis Now, who are carrying out research to hopefully find a cure for this cruel disease. This trek is about turning loss into action – making sure others get the help and hope they need.

Your donation will:

• Fund life-changing support services

• Help families in crisis

• Keep Lloyd’s legacy alive

How You Can Help

Please donate what you can. Whether it’s a few pounds or a larger gift, every donation fuels our trek – and our mission. Can’t donate? Sharing our story is just as powerful.
