Gemma Cutler, 22, who has volunteered with the NSPCC-run service for more than two years, will join a group of 18 fellow fundraisers dubbed the Tartan Trailblazers on the epic challenge.

The group will walk 10km a day for five days along the iconic site, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. They will navigate steep terrain and thousands of uneven steps.

Gemma became involved with Childline after hearing her mum Moira, both right, talk about her volunteer experience. She says it has been rewarding and eyeopening.
