EBBW Vale artist Nathan Wyburn will be joining a host of celebrities on a fundraising walk for charity.
He will be joining Carol Vorderman, who will act as team captain for the celebrities, and former Welsh and British and Irish Lions scrum half Sir Gareth Edwards and his wife Maureen, former Welsh international winger Gareth ‘Alfie’ Thomas, rugby presenter, author Ross Harries and magician Adam Reeves.
Mr Wyburn said: “It’s an absolute pleasure to be part of it. I grew up with Adam Reeves who is on my team and I’m good mates with Gareth Thomas as well through previous work together.
“It should be really fun. I enjoy walking anyway, that’s my thing I do to destress and when I’m not feeling particularly creative, I go on a long walk. This is going to be great. There’s so many incredible names involved and its going for an amazing cause so to put my name and profile to an amazing charity is a nice thing to do.”
They will be taking on 26 miles throughout July as part of The Big Walk for Prostate Cymru, raising funds and awareness of prostate cancer.
