Great Wall trek to help bereaved children

Two friends are preparing to walk along the Great Wall of China in May to raise money to help bereaved children.

Abbie Kent, from Otley, and Karen Butler, from Baildon, Bradford, are doing the six-day trek to raise money for Winston’s Wish, which supports bereaved children and their families.

Karen, 37, lost her sister-in-law to cancer six years ago, leaving her brother to raise two small children.

She has raised 17,000 for other child bereavement charities since 2003. They can be sponsored via the website www.justgiving.com/abbieandkaren
