Tribal Tracks Joins Forces with BRACE Dementia Research for an EPIC Sahara challenge

We're thrilled to announce that Tribal Tracks has partnered with BRACE Dementia Research to launch a truly unforgettable adventure: a 100km trek across the Sahara Desert. This extraordinary challenge will see participants journey through Morocco's golden dunes, wild camp beneath vast starry skies, and experience the magic of desert life – all while raising vital funds to support dementia research.

Colin McCord, BRACE's events co-ordinator,  alongside a team of adventurous and passionate BRACE Dementia Research Supporters (this could be you), hope to raise at least £16,000, which will help to support medical and scientific research in three main areas:

• Understanding the brain to identify underlying causes of different dementias.
• Developing accurate and effective means of diagnosing for dementias as early as possible.
• Finding new methods of prevention and treatment for different dementias, and ultimately a cure.

In 2024, trekkers joined us on this life-changing expedition and their words capture the spirit of the challenge perfectly:

“What an immense, awe-inspiring experience! The Sahara skies and desert mornings were incredible, what a journey to have been a part of, I feel very lucky!” – Sarah, Sahara 100km with Tribal Tracks, 2024

“I recently had the incredible opportunity to trek through the Sahara Desert, and it was an experience I will never forget. From the moment we started, the vastness and beauty of the desert were awe-inspiring. The golden dunes, the quiet expanse, and the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets made every step of the journey feel like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.” – Alison, Sahara 100km with Tribal Tracks, 2024

This is more than just a personal adventure – it's a chance to make a real difference. Each intrepid participant is asked to fundraise £1,000 for BRACE Dementia Research, funding vital studies that bring us closer to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. As a previous participant has said, 'this is not a walk in the park, substantial training is essential'. Each participant and sponsor can be assured that every penny is earned.
