Going the extra mile for charity (Newcastle)

24 July, 2007

Professional stilt walker, Peter Thornett, will be passing through Newcastle at the end of July to meet local people who are invited to come along and support him on his challenge of a lifetime - walking from John O’Groats to Lands End on stilts!

The impressive feat is in aid of Epilepsy Action, the UK’s leading member-led epilepsy charity and F.A.B.L.E (‘For A Better Life with Epilepsy’). Peter’s walk began at John O’Groats in May 2007 and he is aiming to finish in October 2007 at Lands End.
