IF you are hiking on one of Scotland’s 282 munros this summer, it’s just possible that you will bump into young, French performance artist Ninon Noiret and her puppet companion Mini Me. Diagnosed with blood cancer in 2018 (now, thankfully, in remission), she responded to her illness with an innovative project walking the country’s highest mountains in order to raise both money and awareness.
Trekking above 3000 feet with Mini Me, Noiret – who is from the Celtic region of Brittany – is raising cash to fund her stage show The Raft Of The Crab (which is inspired by her experience of cancer) and to support lymphoma charity Blood Cancer UK.
