Julianne McGregor, 27, is planning to hula hoop her way to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for her best friend with cancer. The London, England, resident, will be hooping along the route up Africa's highest mountain and hopes to spin a few circles at the top. McGregor is raising money for the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) to support her American friend Megan Houchins, who has thyroid cancer. McGregor said: "I'm doing this for my close friend Megan, who is currently fighting cancer, and all other cancer sufferers out there. I enjoy hula hooping anyway, but I thought that I would do it on Mount Kilimanjaro because it would put a smile on Megs' face. If not, the pictures of me dirty, sweaty but resolutely hula hooping surely will." Full story: Metro UK, Belfast Telegraph
