Mums tackle the Inca Trail - with lippie

A TEAM of Guernsey women are walking the Inca Trail to raise money for Georgina’s Gang.

‘Lipstick will be worn at all times,’ said Ali Good, 47, a full-time mum of four, who instigated the trip.

Mum of two Sarah Meader, 42, was quick to sign up, saying that walking the trail in Peru had been a lifelong dream.

Fellow members of the team are, from Guernsey, Jennifer Barrow, 40, a part-time occupational therapist and mum of three, Michelle Le Clerc, 48, head of bank operations at Investec, and from the UK, Mel Firth, 39, a part-time bereavement counsellor.

Georgina’s Gang was the perfect incentive to get their walking boots on, they said.

Ian and Tania Pearce are aiming to raise £90,000 to adapt the family home so their daughter, 12-year-old Georgina, who has been diagnosed with a rare and incurable genetic disease, Niemann-Pick Type C, can spend her remaining time in the familiar surroundings.

Until Christmas, Mrs Good worked as a teaching assistant at Hautes Capelles Primary and had spent one-on-one time with Georgina, who started school there.

Mrs Barrow said: ‘We thought we would use it as an opportunity to raise some money for a Guernsey charity.
