Trek in the Sahara
- Patrick Moran (23rd Apr 2014 - 08:51:06)
Last week, 12-19 April, I completed a 100k Trek in the Sahara Desert to support RP Fighting Blindness (RPFB).
I suffer from Retinitis Pigmentosa, a gradual sight loss condition which causes loss of night vision and peripheral vision and remaining central vision will usually fade in mid-life.
I joined a party of 21 amazing and inspirational people from across the UK, to walk in temperatures touching 40C over a 5 day period. 17 of the party have Retinitis Pigmentosa and with the terrain being rugged and uncompromising, this proved to be a tough challenge for all. which brought out a true spirit of support and camaraderie.
The Trek seeks to raise awareness and funds in finding a cure for Retinitis Pigmentosa. Anyone wishing to know more or who suffers from Retinitis Pigmentosa can visit www.rpfightingblindness.org.uk
Anyone wishing to donate to this great cause can do so at /www.justgiving.com/PatrickMoran-TrekTheSahara
I'll be outside Sainsbury’s on Sat 3rd May collecting for RP Fighting Blindness, answering questions about Retinitis Pigmentosa and sporting some pictures & info about the Trek.
Thank you
Patrick
