Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Didn't se this elsewhere so....FORMER Rangers and Scotland football legend Willie Henderson is to undertake a gruelling African desert trek to raise money for his late daughter’s charity.The 70-year-old, who lives in Broxburn, West Lothian, flies out on Monday to Windhoek in Namibia to take part in the 100-mile Namib Desert Challenge, a five-day walk through some of the world’s harshest terrain.He said: “It is 100 miles in five days, so it is like a marathon a day. There are 15 of us going and everyone has been training hard and raising funds, which is absolutely tremendous.”Willie’s daughter, Michelle, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2010 and fought the disease for two years before dying on her 28th birthday.The trek will raise funds for the Michelle Henderson Cervical Cancer Trust, set up to spread awareness of the condition and raise cash for hospital equipment.
