A COUPLE from Hereford is going to take on an 87-mile walk to raise money for two charities.

Mike Spencer, 58, and his wife Julie, 51 will be walking from Ivinghoe Beacon in Hertfordshire to Avebury in Wiltshire over six days and camping along the way.

The couple from Westfield Street will be joined by their two springer spaniels Bonnie and Maggie.

Mrs Spencer is doing it for Macmillan Cancer Support and Mr Spencer is doing it for the Royal British Legion.

They have a son in the army and they have both been affected by cancer in the family.

To sponsor them go to justgiving.com and search for Julie's Ridgeway Walk or Mike's Ridgeway Walk.
