A WINCHESTER estate agent is letting a key member of its staff jet off to China to walk the Great Wall.

Katie Sherjan, of Savills, is undertaking the 75-mile, 10-day trek to raise money for Have a Heart, a charity that supports children's organisations in Hampshire.

The 30-year-old former King Alfred's College student said she chose the charity because it supports local, grassroots causes.

"I think it will definitely be a challenge but I'm really looking forward to it," said Miss Sherjan, of Upper High Street, Winchester. "I'm confident I will do it although how many blisters I'll get I don't know!"

Her fund-raising so far has involved Hampshire businesses giving her £250 in exchange for an advert on her trekking top.

Miss Sherjan, head of new lettings at Savills, is hoping to raise £3,000
