Hide AdTo do this, Peter set himself the mammoth challenge of walking over 400 miles from Sunderland to Lands End, Cornwall
Peter set off on his walk on September 29 and finished it just over a month later on October 31, raising a total of £4160.
Peter’s partner, Victoria Smith, said: “It is incredibly important to support charities like Cancer Research UK and breast cancer awareness. By raising awareness to be breast aware and check your boobs, I hope it can help save lives.
“We've all been affected by cancer at some point in our lives and ultimately, raising funds for cancer research will help beat this horrible disease.”
