If you have ever wanted to do an exhilarating
challenge for charity here is your chance.
We are looking for adventurous volunteers
to take part in a series of incredible open
challenge expeditions that take in some of
the world's most breathtakingly beautiful
landscapes.
Organised as an open challenge by Global
Adventure Challenges you can be trekking
through this magnificent mountain range
in order to summit its highest peak - Mt
Toubkal (4,167m) - the highest point in
North Africa!
Trekking for 3 consecutive days, you will
experience stunning scenery, breathtaking
views across north Africa, and the warmness
and friendliness of locals during your short
charity challenge. Life has changed very
little for the Berber people of this region
and you'll be lucky enough to witness first
hand their culture and lifestyle as you
discover the real Morocco.
Popular with businesses, Morocco Mount
Toubkal Trek is a fantastic long weekend
charity challenge and is ideal for those
who cannot take a full week off work or
away from the family home.
The trek to the summit of Mt Toubkal will
be tough, and will certainly challenge you
- the terrain is demanding and will involve
scrambling over boulders and negotiating
scree - but don't worry; there are expert
mountain guides are on hand to support you
and no previous trek experience is necessary.
Reaching the top of North Africa and looking
across the savannah and mountains will be
a feeling never to be forgotten! You will
end your adventure with a special celebratory
dinner in Marrakech - a city full of charm,
exotic delights and fantastic bargains!
You can read the full itinerary here
and book online.
If you choose the fundraising option, you
must have the fundraising target with ERUK
8 weeks before departure. If you chose the
self funding option, there is no minimum
sponsorship target for you to reach, and
every penny you raise goes towards Epilepsy
Research UK.
By competing for Epilepsy Research UK you
will be helping to fund ground-breaking
research in the UK that will help change
the future for people with epilepsy. Every
project we fund is rigorously assessed by
a panel of experts to ensure it has the
potential to advance our understanding of
the condition and improvements in the treatment
of those with epilepsy.
There is no known cure for epilepsy
Over 30% of people with epilepsy have
seizures that do not respond to drug treatment
In over 60% of cases there is no known
cause
Every year 1,000 people die as a result
of epilepsy
You can help!
Every pound raised by you will increase
the amount of research we can fund.
We are here to support you every step of the way, and each runner will receive a fundraising pack full of ideas, sponsor forms and a personalised Epilepsy Research UK running vest for the race day. We also have fundraising materials available for all your needs, such as drinks mats, banner tape, balloons, pens, ribbon badges - you'll get a form to order what you need in your fundraising pack!
