Story

Thank you for visiting my page to help me raise funds to assist Acorns Childrens Hospice, for the incredible and invaluable work they do here in the West Midlands.
On October 14th 2023, I shall be trekking across the Sahara Desert from Morocco with 28 other fundraisers to help make a difference. At the end of the trek we shall then have two days volunteering in a community project to help vulnerable children enjoy a better quality of life. 
The ask!
I would be grateful if you can sponsor me, and if possible share my link, or ask others to support, and help me reach the target+
REMEMBER TO GIFT AID... it doesn't cost you any extra but boosts the amount for the charity.

Business Ask: I am looking for another sponsor to donate £600+, whom I shall mention in all posts, videos and socials from now until after the trek.
Thank you to ORSUK, the
recycled office furniture specialists, POSE Events PR & Hospitality, and BRMB Radio who are sponsoring already.

This shall be featured each day live on 89.1 FM, DAB, Alexa (ask for BRMB) and online so you can follow our journey, so do please listen in for the live updates and see how we progress. I have called it our BRMB Moroccothon!
If you too can sponsor or know somebody that can, please contact me on LinkedIn or email: Phil@poseevents.co.uk so that we can change some lives together.

My fitness training is underway to improve stamina and health.
This is far from a stroll on the beach! Taking on this iconic challenge, hiking through the ever-changing landscape of the Sahara Desert where I'll discover breath-taking views, trek through sand dunes and desert oasis' alongside camels carrying our water and food, and camp under the stars in this once in a lifetime worthwhile challenge. 

At the end of the Trek, I'll take part in a project that, like Acorns, helps to support young children that are vulnerable and require care outside of a hospital environment. 

We can all play a part in helping others, will you play yours in helping me to help others.
Thank You
