A MOTHER and daughter who plan to walk part of the Great Wall of China this year have arranged three events to raise funds to help a hospice.
Carol Heaviside and her daughter, Laura, of Dickens Road, Barnard Castle, will spend nine days in September on the trek.
They have raised £1,300 so far, but hope to make £5,000, of which £2,000 will be needed for expenses - the rest will go to the Butterwick Hospice.
The pair will be bag packing at Sainsbury's, in Darlington, on Tuesday, April 11.
They are organising a floral demonstration, by award-winning arranger Rita Braithwaite, at the Glaxo Social Club, in Barnard Castle, on Wednesday, April 12, and a ceilidh at the Witham Hall, Barnard Castle, on Saturday, June 17.
Tickets are available from the Butterwick Hospice Shop in Star Yard, Barnard Castle, or from Laura on 07749 974003.
