Another £500 added to Aldingbourne walker's fundraising

An Aldingbourne man who walked around Britain for charity gathered another £500 on his doorstep.

Colin Snook collected the further donation to his fundraising for Climb thanks to members of Bognor Regis Rotary Club.

The cheque took his total raised to more than 27,000. It was handed over by Rotarian David Garforth. He helped Colin find Rotarians on his travels who offered him overnight accommodation as he passed through their towns.

Colin spent an evening with the Rotary club talking about his experiences. He arrived back along Bognor seafront on December 12 after spending 350 days completing a 4,000 mile trek around the British coastline.

He went through three pairs of boots and four pairs of socks. His nights on the epic journey included 27 spent in fire stations - he is a former firefighter - and one in a police station.

His efforts benefited Climb, which collects funds to support children living with inherited metabolic diseases.
