INTREPID Laura Falk will be hitching 1,600 miles to Morocco in just five days to help raise money for charity Link Africa.

Laura, from Little Marlow, will be heading off on her travels across France and Spain this Easter, but needs to raise sponsorship money for the project.

The charity aims to improve the prospect of disadvantaged communities in South Africa, Ghana and Uganda by supporting teacher and school development.

Laura said: "Having spent four months doing voluntary teaching in a primary school in Uganda last year, I know how important work such as this is."

Any sponsorship will go straight to the charity and cheques can be made payable to Link Africa and forwarded to Laura Falk, Old Barn Cottage, Church Road, Little Marlow, Bucks, SL7 3RZ.
