Engineers walking 130 miles for charity

Two engineers from Leicestershire are walking to work to raise awareness of men's mental health - except their office is 130 miles (209km) away.

Jon O'Neill and Kevin Walkington, from the village of East Goscote, near Syston, are making the trip to their company's head office in Liverpool on foot.

They are hoping to encourage men to open up about their mental health and to raise money for Foothold, a charity that supports engineers and their families.

The two friends told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leicester reporter Zoe McGrady they felt it was important they did something to help.
