JUNGLE fever has taken over as Callum Rigby, from Darwen, makes a final plea to raise money for SCOPE in the Vietnamese jungles.

Callum, 29, from Prospect Avenue, is riding close to his target of £2,600 and is looking for more support to raise vital funds for children suffering from cerebral palsy.

He will join 60 charity walkers on the jungle trek, who hope to raise a total of £150,000 for the charity.

Callum, assistant manager at Preston's SCOPE charity shop, said: "I'm really close now but anything else anyone's willing to give would be fantastic."

He will set off to Vietnam in October for the five-day 100km trek.

He said: "I can't wait to go because I'm sure it's going to be the best experience ever."
