Local women go nuts in Brazil for Action Cancer

Susan Maguire, Chris Keenan (Action Cancer Charity Rep) and Colleen Clarke off for Brazil in aid of Action Cancer.TWO local woman, Susan Maguire from Lisburn and Colleen Clarke from Dromore have set off on a life changing challenge to trek the Alantic Rainforest of Brazil in aid of Action Cancer. The two fundraisers joined eight other trekkers who have all raised vital funds for the charity and have trained for a year to participate on Trek Brazil.

The challenge will take them through the Serrs de Bocaina National Park, which is known for its spectacular rainforest and undulating terrain. The team will follow the path of the famous 'Gold Trail ' and experience beautiful waterfalls, natural swimming pools and magnificent views. The Trek ends in Rio de Janeiro.

Participate

Events & PR officer, Kerry Boyd, explained: "People participate in Action Cancer treks for a number of reasons whether they have been affected by cancer themselves or know someone close to them who have been diagnosed, everyone has the same determination and dedication to raise vitals funds for the charity.

"All trekers know that the money they raise will remain within Northern Ireland helping people within their own community so Trek brazil is a chance for people

to do something positive and help save lives from cancer. I would like to thank Susan and Colleen.
