I undertook the tough challenge of trekking 90km in high altitude through the Peruvian Andes between 29/5 - 8/6/03. In addition to the rigorous training for this feat and to paying the initial registration fee I had to raise £2.500 in sponsorship. Find out more about MIND (Registered chrity number 219830)
