Walking 570 miles from Chester to Amsterdam for mental health

A Blacon lad started his walk from Chester city centre to Amsterdam for Mind mental health today.

In this day and age too many people are silently suffering with mental health and we desperately lack resources and funding to help.

After struggling with his own mental health for years, and losing too many friends because of their mental health, Tyler Ogorman has decided to try his hand at doing something about it.

He aims to raise a minimum of £1000 for Mind UK and raise awareness of the lack of support available for people struggling day to day.

He is planning to walk from Chester to Amsterdam .

This will take him 23 days to complete and he will be walking over 500 miles in total.

The starting date is 1st September and his journey will be as follows:

Day 1 Chester Town Hall to Market Drayton.

Day 2 Market Drayton to Coven Heath

Day 3 Coven Heath to Solihull

Day 4 Solihull to Leamington Spa

Day 5 Leamington Spa to Weedon Bec

Day 6 Weedon Bec to Milton Keynes

Day 7 Milton Keynes to Hemel Hempstead

Day 8 Hemel Hempstead to Shoreditch

Day 9 Shoreditch to Gravesend

Day 10 Gravesend to Canterbury

Day 12 Ferry from Dover to Calais and walk from Calais to Gravelines
