An army sergeant's latest fundraising challenge will see him take on a 10-mile walk or run every single day for almost three years.
Sunderland's David Ansell did a half marathon every day for a year between September 2020 and 2021 in aid of Cancer Research UK - and has now decided to one-up himself and complete an even more extreme challenge. Starting on January 4, he plans to cover 10,000 miles over the following 1,000 days, either walking or jogging.
David, a Sqn Training Warrant Officer serving with the Queen's Own Yeomanry reservists in Newcastle, was inspired to take on his previous challenge when his father - also David - was diagnosed with lung cancer. The elder David died just weeks into his son's first challenge.
