In November 2025, it will be 5 years since Nicola lost her beloved mum to dementia. To honour her memory, she is taking on an incredible challenge: a 4-day trek through the vast and breathtaking Sahara Desert – one of the largest and most unforgiving landscapes on Earth.
She’s raising vital funds for the Alzheimer’s Society, a charity working tirelessly toward a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. They give help to those living with dementia today, and provide hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and fund ground breaking research.
Every step she takes in the desert will be powered by love, determination, and hope – and she needs your support to make it count.
Please donate if you can.

Every penny brings us closer to better support, better treatments, and one day – a cure.
Here are some photos of Nicola’s training for this epic journey!
