A SOUTHEND Chinese restaurant is supporting a woman's charity trek.

Lara Basnett, who is fundraising co-ordinator at Southend Hospital, will complete a six-day trek along the Great Wall of China in October.

The Pearl Dragon donated £250 to Lara, who is raising money for the StrokeBusters Appeal. Lara, from Shoebury, said; "I would like to thank Linda from the Pearl Dragon for her kind sponsorship."

Her next fundraiser is a quiz night at Runnymede Hall, Thundersley on Friday, May 30. Call 01702 385337.
