Running solo round the UK coastline

Ex Soldier Paul Minter will spend 5 months running round the entire UK Coastline to raise money for a residential retreat for military personnel.
The Leamington Spa army served for 18 years with the Household Cavalry Regiment, and was medically dispatched with PTSD in 2020. After losing several comrades to suicide, he founded the Heads Up movement to enable veterans and service personnel to access mental health support. He begins his challenge on March 1 and hopes to complete the 5,000 mile journey by October 2022. The feat is the equivalent of running 191 marathons in 218 days. He spoke to 成人快手 CWRs Lorna Bailey about creating a retreat for those suffering and needing help.
