Look North's Simon Spark reports

Two Lincoln ladies are preparing to drive 5000 miles to India in a Tuk Tuk to raise money for charity.

Anna Hagens, a youth worker and university student and Lisa Gibson, a youth worker and mother of two, are aiming to raise £30,000 for Indian community health charity Asha.

As well as raising as much money as possible Anna and Lisa said that travelling across Europe and Asia in a Tuk Tuk for six weeks will hopefully raise awareness.

The money raised from the trip will go towards building a new community health clinic in the slums of New Delhi.

Lisa said driving a Tuk Tuk all the way to India seemed a good way of attracting a lot of attention.
