A mother-of-two from Ulverston is taking on 35 fells over a course of five days to raise money for a charity which cared for her brother during his battle with cancer.

Kristel Kemp, 35 from Baycliff, Ulverston, will be braving 68 miles worth of Lake District countryside to raise money for the charity which cared for her brother. 

Diagnosed with testicular cancer in December 2010, Ms Kemp's brother, Jamie Kemp, 40, from Barrow who owns Yarlside Stores in Barrow, was treated by the Rosemere Regional Cancer Foundation in Preston until he was given the all clear in early 2011.

Beginning her challenge on July 27, Ms Kemp, said: "The staff at the Rosemere Regional Cancer Foundation were lovely and so kind, his care was first class and I can't thank them enough. 

"As I see it, they gave me my brother back when cancer tried to steal him, and this is something I can give back in turn." 

Describing her intense challenge, Ms Kemp who works at BAE as a senior buyer, added: "My friends and family think I am bonkers. My mum was a bit frightened at first but they are really pleased that I am putting the effort in.

"I just put my ear phones in and I am in a little world of my own. I really enjoy being up there alone.

"I am really excited but I know that I will get tired."

Kristel's brother, Jamie Kemp, 40, from Barrow, said: "I am immensely proud of my sister. I mean the actual walk that she is doing over five days is just immense and obviously she is going through a lot of training.

"It is quite typical of the fight you actually going through with cancer.  She is going to be involved with her own fight. 

"She has a good few years on me so I'm sure she will be great."

Describing his own battle with cancer, Mr Kemp, said: "I think it is just about being aware of your own body and not to be embarrassed with the particular cancer that I had. 

"A lot of people maybe do not want to go to the doctor, but time is very important.

"The treatment I received at Furness General Hospital and the Rosemere Foundation I cannot fault.

"I had some really good people looking after me." 

During the five day expedition, Ms Kemp who has so far raised £660 of her £1,500 target will be camping out at a nearby campsite in Keswick which she will use as her base over the course of the walk. 

If a 110km walk wasn't difficult enough, Ms Kemp will be doubling her efforts by taking part in the brutal 10k obstacle course challenge, Total Warrior near Penrith on day six of her fund raising challenge. 

Braving electric shocks, fire and deep icy pools, Ms Kemp said: "The only thing I am a bit apprehensive about is doing the Total Warrior course after I have finished the whole walk. 

"It is something I have wanted to do for ages as I am really competitive, but I am a bit worried about how tired I will be."
