A rare good news story...
A 1,000-kilometre walk may seem daunting, but not for James Lee Valentine. He is living proof that having a sense of charity and resolve and experience can make a great difference to people's lives.
Mr Valentine, 59, is no stranger to long-distance walks for charity. His latest feat, also the longest he has undertaken so far, was a special marathon journey from Pattaya to Phuket, two resort cities closest to his heart.
Feeling fired up to raise 1 million baht for Take Care Kids, a children's foundation based in Pattaya, the British expat put his stamina to a major test.
The walk from Pattaya on the eastern seaboard and then to Phuket, the island province in the Andaman Sea in the west, covered 1,050km. The 48-day walk was concluded on June 6.
