Trek Machu Picchu to train puppies

The search is on for adventurous people to trek to Machu Picchu and raise funds to train puppies to be assistance dogs for disabled people.

Dogs for the Disabled’s third charity trek, Trek Machu Picchu, takes place from 12-21 September 2009. Everyone who takes part will do so in the knowledge that every step they take will help provide more dogs - offering confidence, companionship and independence to disabled people across the UK.
