INTREPID Gail Hamilton will be heading for Peru after raising £2,000 for charity.

She had been collecting cash since January, and had to raise at least £2,000 for Sense - the deafblind charity - before being allowed to complete the famous Inca trail across the Peruvian Andes in September.

A cheese-and-wine evening at her home in Shrubbery Avenue, Barbourne, was her last fund-raising event and pushed her past her target. The 44-year-old part-time lecturer and work-based learning co-ordinator is now looking forward to the 46-mile hike and is busy training in the gym and running in the Malvern Hills.
