A 97-year-old man from West Sussex is set to walk nearly five miles to raise money for charity in memory of his late partner.

Anthony Gillings, known as Ant, is to complete his ‘Walking for Peggy’ in challenge on Friday June 2. Starting at 11am, he will walk from 28 Riverside Road on Shoreham Beach to the Ardington Hotel in Worthing.

Ant said: “Recently my partner and love of my life Peggy, died of dementia. This devastating illness, and long journey over many years, was made significantly worse by going blind.”
