PEOPLE in Worcestershire are being called upon to walk the Great Wall of China in aid of the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity.

The trek takes place between Saturday, May 13, and Sunday, May 21, next year.

The nine-day expedition will include a five-day trek along part of the 4,200-mile fortification, which is one of the great wonders of the world.

All participants have to do is raise a minimum of £2,500 in sponsorship.

For more information call Alexis Bayley, the charity's community fund-raising co-ordinator responsible for Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, on 01179 427132, or e-mail alexis.
