A courageous hotelier from Morecambe who has terminal cancer has completed a month-long walk for charity with six days to spare.
Mail Neill walked 62 miles during January to raise money for St John's Hospice.
The ex-soldier, who is proprietor of the Berkeley Hotel in Morecambe, has been regularly walking a few miles each evening, joined by family, friends and supporters.
Tonight (Friday January 31) from 7pm, Mal will host a fundraiser at The Exchange pub in Morecambe to mark the end of his challenge.
Mal has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, after having no previous symptoms before discovering blood in his urine.
He has urged men over 50 to be checked for prostate cancer before it is too late.
You can donate to Mal's fundraiser HERE. Almost £1200 has been raised at time of writing.
Last weekend, Mal and supporters walked from his home in Morecambe through to Lancaster Fire and Ambulance Station where they were served with food by emergency services staff as a thank you for their efforts.
The 68-year-old, also a former police officer, was in the Kings Own Border Regiment, serving in the Forces for 12 years, and used to run the local Poppy Appeal, has represented the regiment at remembrance and Armed Forces events across the town for several years, and organises an annual Kings Own reunion in Morecambe.
At tonight's fundraiser there will be music from Alisha McKaye and 'Soulman' Mark Yates, and a charity raffle.
Earlier this month, Beyond Radio joined Mal during his walk. See below.
