In March 2020, I will be trekking the Sahara Desert with 35 other DLA Piper colleagues from around the world all in support of Unicef. The challenge is to embark on a 5 day trek across the Jebel Saghro region, starting on the Maider El Kbir plateau, before ascending Jebel El Mrakib, and admiring the stunning views. We will be walking through palm gorges along the route that joins the dry Rhris River and heads towards an oasis of tamarisk trees to the Tikertouachene River and we will raise a grand total of £100,000.
All children have the right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential. That is why supporting Unicef is so important. Unicef works in over 190 countries and DLA Piper has been working with Unicef for many years. Now it is my turn to give back.
What your donations go towards:
$240 could provide 10 children in conflict with the law with support for 2 months
$270 could immunise 200 kids against deadly childhood diseases.
$500 could provide 150 children with a nutritious meal at a support centre
Your donation doesn’t just send life-saving food, vaccines or emergency supplies to a child. It gives hope to children who truly need it most.
Unicef if a Pro Client for DLA Piper whom we are trekking on behalf of.
This money raised for this challenge will go directly towards helping Unicef UK support the rights of children.
DLA Piper Charity Challenge - trekking the Sahara Desert 26 February 2020
Welcome to part 2 of my vlog series focused around my participation in the DLA Piper Charity Challenge 2020.
Trip update! Due to the COVID-19 virus I will no longer be travelling to the Great Wall of China but will instead be trekking 100km of the Sahara Desert in Morocco!
It has been a great journey so far and I have already raised over $4,000 of my total target of $7,000. This has only been possible with the help of many family members, friends and colleagues. A special thanks to the Marketing team at DLA Piper for their support.
But the journey is not over just yet, I still need to raise $3,000 in order to reach my target. If you would like to donate to support #UNICEF, please click the donate button on this page. Your support is really appreciated!
