Crossing a Desert to Raise Money for the Lord Kitchener Memorial Holiday Centre

Tuesday, 9 July 2024 06:15

Two are planning to cross a desert in Southern Africa to help raise funds for the Lord Kitchener Memorial Holiday Centre in Lowestoft.

Jimmy Dexter, who spent 13 years in the British Army served in various countries including Afghanistan, Kenya, Malawi and Sierra Leone, and Dominic Lunt, an RAF veteran and language specialist in Afghanistan, plan to make two unsupported crossings of the Namib desert in Southwest Africa.

Project Noman is hoping to raise £10,000 with more than half of that raised so far.
