The trekking will be testing but rewarded with spectacular views of river valleys far below and the Machu Picchu – one of the new seven Wonders of the World.

Action Cancer Events Officer Dawn Weir said: “We receive no Government funding so rely entirely on the generosity of the Northern Ireland public to fund vital services.

“Whether you want to walk in support of a loved one or just want to set yourself a challenge we would love you to join Team Action Cancer.”

Each fundraiser will be fully supported by the Action Cancer fundraising team, who will offer advice with fundraising activities. Registration for the trek costs £100.
