An 87-year-old great granddad is walking the circumference of the Earth to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. Brian Everett is aiming to walk 24,901 miles before reaching his 90th birthday.
After the loss of his wife Sheila in 2004 to breast cancer, Brian started doing fundraising challenges and has since raised over £200,000 for various charities and causes. This particular fundraiser started in 2017 and the octogenarian has walked over 18,000 miles so far.
Brian walks an average of 9.3 miles every day and expects to finish in 2024, when he turns 90 years old. The journey has taken him all over England and Europe, trekking for around five or six hours every day with barely a day off.
