Would you trek 230km for 9 days across the Munga-Thirri Simpson Desert?

For nine days, bold Youngcare supporters conquer harsh weather conditions and endless sand dunes whilst walking approximately 230km across the Simpson Desert. This trek will be a daily mental and physical test, but it is one that will have a profound impact on the lives of young people with complex physical disabilities and their loved ones.

The completely isolated environment, and tough conditions, where there is little control over personal choice, provides a striking reflection of the challenges that young people with physical disabilities face on a daily basis.
