Shildon man walks coast-to-coast

Robert Merryweather

A Shildon man has completed an 84 mile walk on behalf of Macmillan Nurses.

Robert Merryweather, from Dale Road, set off from Bowness-on-Solway and finished in Tynemouth five days later, raising over £1,000 for the Macmillan charity; a cause which is close to his heart after sadly losing his wife June to cancer earlier this year.

Robert said, “I had blisters on both feet and no skin on my big toe, but it was worth it.

“I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone for their generous donations.”

If anyone would like to contribute to this worthy cause, donations can be left with the Town Crier in Civic Hall Square.
