Story

Well we made it!

A hard trek, we definitely felt that we had earnt your support, particularly after the 11 hour, 23 miler on day 2 ending in some hooge dunes.

We had an very uplifting and also calming week experiencing, glorious wadi, extraordinary dune and bleak, featureless & harsh real desert panoramas.

In our tents by 9pm without fail and up before dawn, I cannot recommend it more to you all.

I have not got the official data but the amount that we have raised so far is enough to roughly fund:

- 500 emergency food shops, putting food on the table for a veteran and their family

- 250 mental health therapy sessions, with a therapist allocated on average within 9.1 days and 7.2 miles of the client’s home

- 20 full courses of therapy, helping to turn around the life of a veteran and reignite their sense of purpose
