David Talbot, 37, is walking 237 miles in aid of the Childrens Ward at Calderdale Royal Hospital and the Cancer Unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. "We as a group have been doing different fundraising events for 6 months now. Our inspiration for this fundraiser came from the news. I was watching Kavin Sinfield, MND Marathon Run which encouraged me to speak to an individual from our group about it. After our discussion, I decided to take it upon myself to complete this challenge." - David Talbot. David will be walking completely alone but will finish with a few friends beside him on Bournemouth Beach.
The walk started from Natwest Bank in Halifax on Thursday 1st December and it is estimated that it will take around 7-9 days to complete. David will be spending the evenings in his tent, with one night in a hotel to freshen up.
David decided to do this for the Children's Ward as he understands that the children are going through so much and a gesture like this is going to bring smiles to those who need it the most throughout the festive period. David is also hoping to inspire others to make a difference.
David will be live on TikTok during his walk - @Davidhalifax1_gravitasq OR @justdave
