My ideal holiday: lying on a sun-drenched beach with miles of white sand and clear blue water rippling by my feet. Cocktail in hand...

The reality: slogging my way along the Inca Trail, with altitude sickness and blisters and CAMPING! (There should be some great views along the way, but I'm not sure it really makes up for it!)

So why am I doing this? It must be for a good cause!

Please sponsor me here online, to raise funds for ActionAid. If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you.

Both myself and ActionAid really appreciate your donation. Any amount will make a difference but please try to give generously!

Thank you!
