Sahara Trek 2026

There's not long to go until our Sahara Trek team heads off to the desert - and joining them is our President, Lisa Snowdon!

Event information

Date:

Thursday 5 March 2026 - Tuesday 10 March 2026

Location:

Morocco, Africa

Our first overseas trek since 2016, Sahara Trek 2026 will see a group of intrepid Meningitis Now supporters take to the dunes and ancient riverbeds of one of the largest and most beautiful deserts in the world.

Joining our team of trekkers this year is our brilliant President, Lisa Snowdon. She has been involved with the charity since her viral meningitis diagnosis in 2010.

I'm proud to be President of Meningitis Now and will never stop talking about meningitis, the signs the symptoms and to fight to have more money to ensure young people, the elderly and anyone who is vulnerable has access to the Men B vaccine or a booster- Meningitis doesn’t discriminate doesn't care how busy you are, how successful you are, or how healthy you think you are. It can strike anyone, at any age. Know the signs. Trust your instincts. Don't do what I did and push through. Your health is worth more than any deadline.

Smiling woman in an orange cap and blue top stands in a desert. A badge on her shirt reads "Meningitis Now." Background: "Sahara Trek 2026" sign with camel.
