A Cumbrian man is embarking on a 130 mile walk to keep a charity helpline open.

Along with two other dads who lost their daughters to suicide, Andy Airey is will complete a lap of the Anglesy coastline, raising money for suicide prevention charity Papyrus.

He says they've chosen Anglesey to highlight the importance of helplines in rural areas.

Andy continued: "It allows us to talk about the helpline as that's available for us all to use everyday of the week."

The walks expected to take them eight days.
