Love Hope Strength presents Sahara Rocks, a trek through the ever-changing desert landscape of Northern Africa from 27th October 2nd November 2020. Trekkers will experience the beauty of one of the most breathtaking deserts in the world, but its going to be challenging, with a climb to the top of the Chigaga Dunes, the highest dunes in the Sahara, early starts and some long hiking days.
LHS was co-founded by acclaimed musician Mike Peters, who aimed to save lives, one concert at a time, and give hope to families affected by cancer. The money raised through Sahara Rocks will support healthcare projects in Africa to help make LHS vision of a better world for people with cancer a reality.
Over the past decade LHS has established the 'Get On The List' programme to help people with a blood cancer who need a second chance of life. To date LHS has registered over 200,000 people to international stem cell donor registries. Over 4,000 of those who've registered have been identified as potentially life saving matches. Over £1m has been raised globally to help support some of the most vulnerable people affected by cancer. LHS has equipped hospitals and community cancer services with new facilities and equipment in parts of the UK, US, Africa and Asia.
Led by volunteers and supported by partnerships with leading international organisations, LHS provides those it serves with a lifeline. Sahara Rocks will help spread love hope and strength to those who need it most.
