TWO Darlington women face the challenge of a lifetime next month when they attempt a gruelling ski descent in support of cancer research.
Julie Russell, 29, and Rebecca Williams, 37, who both work at the Dolphin Centre, have taken up a 20,000m ski challenge in Trois Vallees, France.
It is one of The Cancer Research Campaign's Ultimate Challenge 2001 Events, and to take part they have each to raise at least £2,500.
Fitness manager Julie, of Fife Cove, Darlington, said: "I always like to fundraise for charities, and this was an opportunity to do something different and exciting."
Horticultural manager Rebecca, of Grainger Street, Darlington, said: "My Dad died of cancer and since then I have done a number of events to help raise the vital cash needed to fund world-class scientists in their efforts to find new cures and better treatments."
