China trek raises £9,300

Cath green on the Great Wall walk

CATH Green walked for hours on end along narrow ridges in sweltering heat, but her mammoth effort was well worth it as she raised nearly £9,300 for charity.

The First Choice Homes chief executive walked the 100-mile Beijing section of the Great Wall of China to raise money for The Alzheimer’s Society and Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.
