Harrogate Town's club secretary and female team player Abbey Smith is raising money for MIND by climbing Machu Picchu in Peru.

Ms Smith will trek 2,430 metres up to the ancient Inca citadel in May in the hope of raising £4,000 for the mental health charity.

Her fundraising efforts are part of RED January, a nationwide movement encouraging people to move every day and beat the winter blues. She will be hosting various raffles, events and will also run 100km in January to help reach her goal.

Ms Smith said:

“MIND is a charity that is close to my heart as it has helped friends and family in the past, and with the current covid situation across the globe I feel that now more than ever the charity needs as much support as possible, to be able to help with people’s mental health.”
