A DARWEN man is joining 60 charity walkers in a 100km trek across the Vietnamese jungles.

Callum Rigby, 29, of Prospect Avenue, aims to raise £2,600 for the charity SCOPE, which helps children with cerebral palsy.

Helen Smith, event fund-raiser, said: "We aim to raise £150,000 in total from the trek. They will be in intense heat and humidity but I'm sure it will be worth every bit."

Callum sets off in October and will spend five days trekking the jungles.
