WEST London mental health charity Mind' and Ab-Fab actress Joanna Lumley are urging intrepid residents to head for the hills of Nepal in a bid to raise vital funds for the charity.
The six-day trek starts at the northern end of the Kathmandu Valley and follows ancient trails through remote villages populated by the local and surefooted Sherpas.
Sponsorship from one participant would pay for the cost of the Mind Infoline which supports around 100 people in crisis per day.
In return for the initial fee of £299 and minimum sponsorship level of £2,600 participants will receive all accommodation, meals, and lots of training, fundraising and moral support. The trek will take place between November 20-29, 2004. To find out more about the trek call 0870 012 9001, or email nepal@mind.org.uk
