Story

In just a few days, an intrepid team put together by Lucy and Matthew Chatting will be trekking 100km across the Sahara Desert.

It is the next chapter in a long series of events by Carter the Brave spanning across 9 years & totaling over £450,000! It is CTB's sole mission to make this journey easier for other people's Carters. It is also CTB's ethos that every single penny raised goes directly to BCH so this trip is 100% self funded by ALL 28 Trekkers meaning that ALL donations go directly to making a difference for these children.

Since 2016 Carter the Brave has made a huge impact with highlights being the Handsfree Vocera system, 3 x IV Vein Finders, 1500 Amazon vouchers, 7 revolutionary GameStations, £107,000 to the CTB Fellowship Research Fund resulting in groundbreeaking research, 2 Chemo CADD Pumps allowing children to stay at home more & more recently 2 Mouth Ulcer Treatment Machines & Anti Coag machines to reduce pain for the children whilst also reducing their hospital visits.

The funds raised from this next challenge will fund a paediatric research project, an ultrasound venous machine & will help towards a renovation of the new BCH entrance.

Everyone is getting ready for this EPIC Trek where the heat, terrain, sandstorms & camping will be their challenge! But is the Sahara ready for the AMAZING Team Carter?!

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported & continues to support our quest to help these children.
