Andrew Schofield, a former military police officer, will complete the journey in just five days (Monday 5 to Friday 9 December), as part of Walking With the Wounded's Christmas campaign 'Walking Home for Christmas.'
The avid Red has revealed how a chance conversation with his brother helped lift him out of his own dark depression and encouraged him to seek support for his declining mental health.
Now he is walking to raise money and drive awareness for other veterans that are encountering similar problems.
“This walk is a physical representation of my own and many other people’s mental health journeys,” he explained.
