Scottish Para vet to walk Glasgow to Edinburgh and back carrying 100lbs for charity

A Scottish dad of two and former paratrooper is walking from Glasgow to Edinburgh and back whilst carrying 100 pounds in a rucksack in the hope of raising £10,000 to help fellow veterans.

Ricardo Pallisco, 39, will also attempt to set a new Guinness World Record by completing the fastest walk over 100 miles whilst carrying a bag weighing 100lbs.

The inspirational veteran will take on the monumental task in January 2023 and hopes that his bonkers plan will motivate people to help him reach his £10,000 target for Who Dares Cares, a charity that helps serving military personnel, vets and blue lights service members.
