Steve’s amazing Sahara trek

Our shoot from this morning was our client Steve Searle, Today looking for something a “little” different hehehe,  Steve is about to set off on a 100KM trek to the Sahara so we did a Calendar Girl inspired shoot to help with promotions:-)

This is an amazing challenge so please check out his page and if this photo made you smile maybe make a donation, every pound is well worth it please.   Donate here

A message from Steve.

 

Steve Searle’s Sahara Slog

I have been contemplating a personal challenge as part of a charity fundraising event for some time now; but have always seemed to find a reason to put any plans on hold.

Well, here we are, I’m sat pondering what can be achieved - and quite frankly have run out of any excuses or rational arguments not to actually undertake something that will really push me; whilst raising some cash in the process.

I’m ‘reasonably’ fit, still have my own teeth and also have a niggling itch that needs scratching in terms of adventure and exploration. I have therefore joined a group of like minded individuals who will take part in a quest to North Africa, where we will undertake an 8 day trek through the Sahara Desert.

This is the real deal; using local guides and a caravan of camels to carry kit we will be trekking for 7 hours a day in isolation over the incredible but harsh landscape. It’ not an easy option – as well as the training programme I’m undertaking (plus the medical and vaccinations), this is proper desert – just sand, camels, tents, sand, dug latrines, rocks, more sand and wet wipes!! I am well aware that this takes me out of my comfort zone, but then so it should.

My chosen charity is very important to the family; my niece unfortunately has CF. Increasingly, it is left to the research work being carried out by Cystic Fibrosis Trust to spearhead the realistic possibility of a solution being found to this terrible condition; especially as Government funding is inevitably cut.

I really appreciate your support and thank you very much for any donations – all amounts are greatly received.

Many thanks, Steve

The Hampshire Autistic Society, can you help?

I dont very often post things like this on our blog but this really is an important charity and one where literally “every penny counts”

One of our lovely brides from a few years ago Vanessa has decided to trek through Peru for 10 days (eek) in order to raise money for the Hampshire Autistic Society and is hoping to raise £3500.00.  I am pleased to say that she is off to a good start and I obviously wish her well.

Please take a look at her sponsor page and help is you can, its easy and as I said every penny helps, If you can afford a pound or a tenner or more:-)it will be going to such a great local charity.

For any of our clients that do donate, please let me know and Sue and I will send you a gift as way of showing our appreciation, we really do want to help Vanessa to reach her goal, how cool would it be to say that we helped that?

Vanessa’s Page please visit

Hampshire Autistic Society for more info

Please do let us know if you like this and decide to donate, Sue and I would be so very grateful.
