Louise Barr, North Wales Centre Manager, is gearing up for an incredible challenge - the St. David's Hospice Sahara Trek!
She’ll be trekking 100km on foot across the Sahara Desert, setting off for Morocco on 1st November. Louise is taking on this adventure in loving memory of her sister, Karen, who sadly passed away from breast cancer at the age of 50. Karen received exceptional care from the team at St. David's Hospice, and Louise has been committed to fundraising for them ever since.
“When I turned 50 it really made me stop and reflect - being the same age my sister was when she passed,” Louise shares. “When I saw the Sahara Trek, it felt like the perfect way to honour her and do something positive for the Hospice.”
All funds raised will go directly to St. David's Hospice, which provides compassionate care to adult patients and their families across Anglesey, Gwynedd, and Conwy.
