Fabulous Gemma will be trekking up to the dizzy heights of almost 4,600 metres in October 2012, in a bid to raise funds to help support our work.

Gemma's four day trek will take her from Cusco in Peru, along the Salkantay trail and upwards to her final destination - Machu Picchu.

Keep up-to-date with Gemma's story, as she attempts to raise £3,500 (inc £1,725 tour costs) and train for the event in her blog, Gem's little jaunt up Machu Pichu, or follow her on Facebook.
