Wiltshire Times media executive Karina Hooker is in for a challenging year, tackling first a 60-mile one-day trek from London to Brighton, followed by the Three Peaks Challenge and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

The 28-year-old, from Paxcroft, Trowbridge, will be raising money for charity Headway. She will be joined by her dad Malcolm, 57, on the first trek and is walking up to 10 miles a day in training.

“I get a bit of a rush thinking about it,” said Miss Hooker. “Last year a close friend of a colleague at work suffered a massive brain injury and still has a long way to go. Headway provides the care that patients need.

“My friends think I’m mad, but I’m excited.”
