Cameron Bates, 25, ran the length of the River Severn last week in a bid to raise money and get more people talking about their mental health.
The pair began at the source of the Severn in the Cambrian Mountains of mid Wales on Sunday, April 28. Their six-day journey saw them run through Newtown, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Worcester and Gloucester before finishing at the mouth of the river in Severn Beach on Friday.Cameron said he had come up with the 219-mile undertaking while he was struggling with his own mental health.
"So I decided to train for this run and Tom wanted to do it with me. I'm not really a runner, I haven't really done anything since school so it was starting from scratch really. "It was incredible. Very challenging, but enjoyable as well. There were lots of highs and lows but you keep battling on. At times it was hard to just put one foot in front of the other.
