A LOCAL fashion sales consultant will be trekking through Peru next month to raise money for the clean water charity appeal Just a Drop.

Sue Park, 45, of Grove Park, Chiswick will spend five days walking from the town of Cuscu to the Inca settlement at Machu Picchu.

The terrain is mostly mountainous and Sue will have to acclimatise to the high altitudes before she starts walking. She said: "I'm practising like a nutter. We have to carry everything we need ourselves, like our sleeping bags, tents and our water. It's going to be a breath taking experience in more ways than one!"

Sue, who has partly funded the trip herself, now needs to raise £2,500 for the charity. Anyone who would like to make a donation can do so by calling Sue on 07803 001 672.

Sponsor forms will also be available at the Hogarth Health Club.
