60-year-old Richard Younie, who despite experiencing two life changing strokes in recent years, has taken on a mega challenge this year to raise money for Mountbatten.
304 laps = 26.5 miles
As Richard is unable to join thousands of others on Walk the Wight Day (now postponed until 12th September), he decided he could cover the same distance by doing laps of the Close where he lives.
Richard had started his challenge and hopes to complete the 304 laps (to complete eight miles), finishing on 12th September.
