Man embarks on epic mental health awareness walk from Surrey

A man is walking more than 400 miles to Glasgow from Surrey to raise awareness of men’s mental health issues.

Jack Percival, from Epsom, told the BBC he started the challenge in January, a year after he experienced serious issues with his mental wellbeing.

The 31-year-old has walked on average 20 miles a day since setting off from central Epsom and has now reached the north of England.

“I want to prove to men who are in a horrible space in their lives that they can do something positive,” he said.
