Karen Sorensen is well known to many residents following frequent visits to family here during the last 16 years. Karen is heading out to Vietnam in 9 days time to complete a fund raising trek for two breast cancer charities.
This is not Karen’s first charity trek, she has already undertaken several including the Negev Desert, The Great Wall of China and the Inca Trail at Machu Picchu to help children suffering from cerebral palsy. Having being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, and because of other recent circumstances, her subsequent charity treks have been in aid of Breast Cancer Care and Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
The Hill Tribe Trek heads deep into the heart of North Vietnam, participants are taken well off the beaten track through rice paddies and the jungle, staying overnight in the homes of local tribes, who have only just recently started accepting foreign visitors.
Karen has a Virgin Money Giving page with a target of £3150, to date her fund raising has reached £1580.
If you have been touched by breast cancer or would just like to donate to the cause, you can do so online through the link above, alternatively Sterling cheque donations are being collected locally by her cousin Jilly Simmons.
