Dyer well on his way on record walk

Nathaniel Dyer is making great progress on his charity walk from John O'Groats to Land's End — so why not offer him an extra bit of support and the chance to keep his lip in.

Nathaniel
  Nathaniel is already enjoying some great views on his walk.

Nathaniel Dyer, the inspirational trombone playing runner is once again well into his stride on the next stage of his 'bucket list' of ambitions, with his fund raising walk for Macmillan Cancer Support from John O'Groats to Land's End.

He has now almost competed two weeks of hiking and is making great progress. He is also looking to see if he can team up with any bands on the way to come and have a blow.

Fund raiser

As 4BR readers are aware, Nathaniel was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable bowel cancer at the age of 36 and since his diagnosis has been determined to live his life to the full.

He recently raised over £28,000 after he took the road with trainers and plastic trombone to run and play the London Marathon.

Today he is heading to Jedburgh with plenty more stops to come…
