A WOMAN who has climbed the UK’s highest peaks and cycled around the world is to run from Shetland to Cornwall.

Locum pharmacist Faith Addison will take on the challenge in aid of Longfield Hospice Care, which is aiding her godfather.

The 34-year-old will set off on Sunday and aims to complete the 1500 miles within six weeks, covering at least 33 miles per day.

Addison, from Shetland, conceded the solo, unsupported journey was “daunting”, saying: “This isn’t an easy challenge.

“It’s going to be tough.”

Addison, who used house deposit money to fund her round-the-world cycle four years ago, will carry camping gear as she runs and monies raised will also go to charity Parkinson’s UK.
