Angus fundraiser Bobby Campbell puts best foot forward on latest charity trek

Edzell fundraiser Bobby Campbell started his latest charity walk on Saturday.

He will walk 1,000 miles to raise money for the Angus branch of Save the Children at a rate of five miles a day.

Retired policeman Bobby, who has raised more than £100,000 for charity in the past, said he wanted to choose a children’s charity for his latest undertaking.

He was seen off by Ros Fletcher and Marion Jarret from the Angus branch of Save the Children at Edzell Arch.

Bobby said: “I’ve got to remember that I’m 70 next year, but I feel in good health at the moment.

“What I’m planning to do is do 1,000 mile walks for different charities going forward. Each time my fundraising target will be £1,000.

“I still really enjoy doing the walks and the important thing is that I’m raising money to help others.”

He added that locals had already contributed £60 in advance of his latest trek.

Last year he raised £1,300 for Alzheimer’s Scotland.
