Theresa Ferguson took on the Sahara Desert Trek in 2024. She said: “It’s a good way of getting to see different parts of the world. It’s doing something that’s going to physically challenge you as well as mentally challenge you, step outside your comfort zone and do something for yourself.”

Rob Foster, Events & Challenges Fundraising Officer, said: “For anyone looking to start the new year with a different kind of resolution or by planning an adventure, our challenges are for you. We have a diverse range of activities to get involved in, that cater for every level of experience. Not only will you be taking on a once-in-a-lifetime challenge, but every penny you raise will go towards keeping your helicopter flying, meaning seriously ill or injured people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly can receive critical care when they need it most. And what better time to get involved and play your part, in the year your second helicopter will be arriving!”
