A Macclesfield man is looking to blow his previous fundraising milestone out of the water by challenging himself to walk 1200 miles to Ibiza.

Henry Moore's gruelling challenge will take over two months to complete as he aims to cover 40 km each day.

The 21-year-old will be spurred on by the success of his last trip - a 500 mile walk to Paris which raised over £20,000 for charities throughout the north west, as well as many Macclesfield charities.

He said: "The last one gave me a lot of confidence but I am still very nervous."

The route for Henry's next fundraiser, which is taking place next month.

"There is a lot of pressure on it, it is very dangerous but I have taken a lot from the Paris walk and it's comforted me in many ways."

Having already smashed his previous charity fundraising target - the tradesman hopes to raise £10,000 whilst proving people wrong, as he did at the end of last year.

The former Macclesfield Academy pupil had these inspiration words of wisdom, for those wishing to push themselves for a good cause. 

He added: "Think about what you are capable of doing yourself because I know a lot of people told me last time, you can't do this, you can't do that - but you know I can and I did and I will again and I am just going to do it."

He's aiming to pack lighter this time around.

There have also been lessons learnt from his previous trip - where Henry admits that he has taken too much equipment with him which placed extra strain on the trip. 

And this time Henry has received additional support from successful Ibiza nightclub owner Wayne Lineker. 

This came after Henry sent an Instagram message to the entrepreneur asking for his support. Lineker was quick to respond and invited him to his apartment in London to formally back his challenge.

Henry said: "When Wayne replied it was a lightbulb moment for me."

"I missed the buzz, I wanted that buzz to be doing something great again. So when he replied, I thought I had to do it."

His reason for choosing Ibiza is much the same as Paris - it is something that catches the eye and would encourage more donations to his chosen charities.

Henry sets off his second European walk on March 2, motivated by his end goal of helping young people. 

Macclesfield: To donate to Henry's fundraising campaign, please be patient as he is set to reveal charities in the coming days on his Facebook.

He inspired Macclesfield - and the nation - walking to Paris for charity last year.
