Local hero walks 630 miles for Derbyshire charity

At the age of 68, Andy Younger, from Melbourne, Derbyshire has just set off on an incredible 630-mile walk along the South West Coast Path, aiming to complete the full route in just 8 weeks!

Backed up by his partner Jill in their trusty camper van, he began this epic journey on April 10th all in support of a charity close to his heart – Me & Dee, based in Melbourne.

Me & Dee does amazing work helping families facing life-changing or terminal illness create lasting memories. After meeting founder Maria Hanson MBE in person, Andy felt even more determined to support their mission.

This is a massive personal challenge, and every step he takes along the rugged and beautiful coastline is for a cause that really matters.
