Newcastle dad to walk from Wembley to St James' Park for charity which saved his life

A Newcastle man is planning to walk the full distance from Wembley to St James' Park in a mammoth challenge to raise awareness for men's mental health.

Magpies fan Josh Banyard will set off from the national stadium on a gruelling 273-mile five-day walking challenge on August 22 hoping to make it all the way to St James' Park.

The challenge is all centred around raising awareness of the importance of speaking about mental health as well as raising money for the Newcastle United Foundation, which he credits with saving his life.
