Man Utd fan and veteran Andrew Schofield to undertake incredible walk

“This walk is a physical representation of my own and many other people’s mental health journeys,” he explained. 

“It’s tough, lonely, unpredictable and feels impossible to overcome. What I’m doing is ridiculous and it’s tough and it’s going to feel impossible. 

“There’s a military saying: ‘Train hard, fight easy.’ So if you train hard, hopefully, the actual event itself is a bit easier. You’ve got the momentum of the event itself, the adrenaline that will help spur me on and get me through, but absolutely up to now the worst bit of this is training for it.”
