Trek the Sahara

Join our Sahara Desert trek from 1-11 March 2013. Guided by local Berbers, you’ll spend ten days traveling over 100km from the small dunes and tamarisk trees of the Jebel Bani to the magnificent heights of one of the world’s largest sand dunes at Chagaga. Ending in the vibrant hub of Marrakesh for a final day celebration, you’ll experience a truly epic landscape.

Let the camels take the strain of your packs as you trek by day, and marvel at the solitude of sleeping under the stars by night as you embark on this incredible journey.

  • To take part in the trip you’ll need to commit to raising £2250 for Help a Capital Child
  • At least 60% of this will directly benefit the charity with 100% of any further funds raised going straight to Help a Capital Childs’s work with children living with cancer.
  • The Help a Capital Child team will be with you every step of the way to help with fundraising and prepare you for the trip of a lifetime.

The Sahara Desert Trek through Morocco is an Open Challenge. This means that you will be joined by trekkers supporting lots of different charitable causes. This gives you a great opportunity to share this special experience with people from all sorts of backgrounds and make some truly great new friendships along the way.

Help a Capital Child receives no statutory funding and we rely on the support of kind donors like you to support our important work. This year Help a Capital Child is supporting Teenage Cancer Trust, to help young people with cancer through the funding of dedicated units and specialist staff all around the country in our broadcast areas. The money that you raise allows these young people to receive the specialist care and attention they need.
