Ian Botham’s First Charity Walk


Ian Botham arrives at Land's End to welcoming crowds and press after his first long distance charity walk in aid of leukaemia. TV presenters Selina Scott and Frank Bough are also there to mark the end of the nine hundred mile trek from John O'Groats to Land's End. Botham holds his new baby daughter Becky in his arms. Through his walks he has helped to raise millions for charity and provided inspiration for others to do the same.
