Rosie May Sahara Trek 2025

Madison Woan is raising money for Rosie May Foundation

Sahara Desert Trek · 4 October 2025

Our 8 day expedition provides Rosie May trekkers with the ultimate Moroccan experience! Rosie May Trekkers will discover the bustling souks of Marrakech before heading high over the Atlas Mountains to begin a camel trek through the Northern Sahara.

Story

In October, my mum and I will be trekking the Sahara Desert for the Rosie May foundation . We are following in the footsteps of my best friend Izzy’s wonderful mum, Colette, who completed this same trek eleven years ago.

This journey is about so much more than just the distance we will cover, it’s a heartfelt tribute to Collette’s strength, kindness, and the incredible person she was. But most of all, we are doing this for Izzy, who is also doing this extraordinary trek. Izzy is the most remarkable person and our family wouldn’t be complete without her ❤️

Me and my mum need to raise £1000 each. We will be so grateful and so appreciative if you can give anything!

We will be raising money for the amazing charity Rosie May foundation that is so close to our hearts, all proceeds will be going to the Project Hope in Sri Lanka which supports single parent mums and their children living or on the line of poverty.

Why are we doing this? Because every step we take will help provide hope and opportunity to children and families supported by the Rosie May Foundation. Your donation directly funds life-changing projects, including education for children in Sri Lanka and safe transport initiatives empowering women in India.

Each Rosie May trekker has committed to raising at least £1,000, a contribution that makes a massive difference:

£25 provides a school bag filled with essential supplies for a child.

£50 funds a week’s worth of after-school English lessons.

We’re not just walking for the experience—we’re walking for brighter futures, safer communities, and a world where every child has a chan
