A SWINDON woman is gearing up to walk the Great Wall of China for Breast Cancer Care.
Collete O’Malley, is busy training for the walk, which will take place in October. She has pledged to raise at least £3,200 for Breast Cancer Care and still has £2,700 to find, so is hoping local businesses and individuals will offer their support.
She said: “Taking part in the China Trek is a great challenge for me. I have strict training targets to make sure I’m fit enough for the trip and to ensure I don’t let down those who have sponsored me. The cause is close to my heart as I’ve lost family to cancer, have family fighting cancer and personally have the BRCA2 cancer gene.”
Claire Pulford, head of events at Breast Cancer Care said: “I’m delighted with Collette’s hard work on behalf of Breast Cancer Care. The money raised will make such a difference.”
