QUALIFIED bus driver Tracy Capper will use a different kind of wheels next week in aid of Comic Relief.

She and pal Michelle Strong plan to rollerblade from Catterick Garrison to Richmond.

"I only took my PSV to prove women can do most things just as well as men," said Tracy.

"I've always been up for a challenge or a laugh, so when we were thinking of what we could do to help, this is what we decided."

The pair - neither of whom has any previous skating experience - will set off from the garrison's Le Cateau School next Friday.

"Our children are all pupils there, but it also happens that (Richmond MP) William Hague will be there as he's handing over a certificate to recognise the school's environmental work," said Tracy.

"I don't know if we'll be able to persuade him to join in, but we're hoping he'll be able to wave us off," she said.

Tracey, 39, and Michelle, 27, will collect cash along the route. Money raised will go to the international causes supported by Comic Relief
