In November 2024, I will be embarking on an epic challenge to trek 100km across the Sahara.

I'm taking on this challenge to raise vital funds to support animals in need through the charity International Aid for the Protection and Welfare of Animals (IAPWA). Donations to this challenge will help to support the thousands of animals who rely on the lifeline they provide through their projects and support programmes worldwide.

I will be funding the trip myself as I wouldn't dream of asking for anyone else to fund my enjoyment - however, I'm hopping that friends and kind people will spare a few quid to donate to IAPWA so they can help look after our fluffy friends around the world.

Even if it's only £1, it will be appreciated to help me hit my target and would make a significant difference to the lives of animals who really need this help.

To find out more about the charity I'm supporting please visit www.iapwa.org and www.facebook.com/iapwa.
