Even though John Parry is receiving treatment for cancer himself, he has decided to walk 462 miles from coast to coast across the UK. Starting in Lowestoft in the East and finishing in St David's in the West, John is raising money for four charities, St David's Hospice Care, Macmillan Cancer Support, Cancer Research UK and Farleigh Hospice in Essex.
His epic journey, along with his brilliant attitude to life and positive affirmations, have gained popularity on social media, winning him fans from all over the world and after exceeding his initial target of raising £5,000, John now hopes to raised £75,000 to support patients living with cancer.
