MOTHER-of-four Kim Lee is aiming to tackle a daunting challenge in aid of charity -- hopefully with the help of generous Star readers.
For the 41-year-old from Consett Road, Nutgrove, has been selected to take part in the Peru Hike Away 100km challenge in September on behalf of SCOPE, but needs to raise £2,500 to fund the trip to South America.
Kim, who is a residential social worker, told the Star: "I have done a few half-marathons in the past but this is something different again. The hike follows the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, which I've always wanted to do, and it is all in aid of charity so I hope to attract sponsorship or donations."
Anyone who would like to support Kim can contact her on 0151 430 9677 (work) or (01744) 608910.
