Dave McKellar will leave his house in Glasgow on May 13 with the goal of finishing the almost 200 mile journey in just 10 days.
A Glasgow man is set to walk from his home to Inverness in the hope of raising as much money as possible for Cancer Research.
Dave's love for walking started during lockdown as millions of people across the country were told isolate from others. Now he hopes he can use his passion for good. "By the time I was back at work I was walking miles and miles. It has made a huge difference to my physical appearance and it really helped me through lockdown. I've always wanted use the benefit I had from walking in a positive way and give back.
"I've lost so much weight because of it. At my heaviest in 2018 I was just over 20 stone and through walking I have got down to 12 and half stone, so I lost roughly eight stone." The 39-year-old explained: "I've never done anything like this before. All the walking I've done so far has been around the local area and Glasgow."I've never walked this distance before. I'm practicing by increasing my distance and carrying a heavy backpack."
