A father and son from the Isle of Wight are set to undertake an epic charity walk to raise money for the UK Sepsis Trust.
Chris and son Devlin (13) will complete a 20-mile Island trek from the centre of Newport towards Shanklin, taking their first steps at 7am.
What began as an inspiring weight loss story has now evolved into a full-blown charity walk.
Around three months into the journey the pair have lost a combined weight of more than five stone.
They have charted their progress by using TikTok, with people cheering the duo on.
Chris explains:
"The charity is close to my heart as I had sepsis in 2019 and spent three weeks in hospital as a result.
"People who know about sepsis will be aware of how long last the effects can last - both physically and mentally.
"I want to help this charity by creating an amazing journey with my son, and hopefully we can inspire others to dig deep and show that there is always light at the end of the tunnel."
