Ian who hasn’t had anytime to train for the walk due to being a last minute replacement told Deeside.com;

“It’s hardest thing I’ve ever done, Nathan has been unbelievable, some of the terrain yesterday to do keep-ups over was crackers!!

Nathan, a lifelong Everton fan said he came up with the idea a few years and is no stranger to such a gruelling challenge, he has also juggled a ball all the way across Lesotho in Africa for charity and becoming the first person to ever juggle a football across the nation.

All the proceeds of his Hillsborough juggle all funds raised are going to Alder Hey Children’s hospital to raise money for their burns unit.
