Dave leads ISL, which is an organisation dedicated to helping people with learning disabilities and those experiencing mental health challenges develop the skills to live happier, more independent lives.

His son, Sean, works alongside him as ISL’s wellbeing coach, promoting wellbeing and resilience across the organisation.

The challenge builds on last year’s 99-mile walk, which raised £3,342 for local charity partners.

Dave and Sean hope this year’s walk will highlight the importance of mental health support and the benefits of community and physical activity.

The walk will conclude with a small arrival event at the Frank Bruno Foundation, Round By Round Centre, Wallwelled Court, with food and drinks provided.
