EXTREME temperatures and extreme altitude is in store for Taunton Boots’ assistant manager next month.

Kirstie Dobson, 27, is embarking on the once in a lifetime challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, flying out on January 9.

She hopes to raise £4,500 for Macmillan Cancer Care.

Kirstie said: “I was after a massive challenge and to support the charity, as cancer has affected a lot of members of my family.”

She has been training in the Peak District ahead of scaling the 5,895-metre mountain.
