A former paratrooper Armed Forces is visiting Largs today (Friday) as part of a national walk around the UK coastline.

Christian Lewis previously served in 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment. He left the service to bring up his daughter and, having fallen on tough times, was helped out by SSAFA.

Chris, seeing his opportunity to give something back to SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity and go on an adventure, gave up his home and everything in it to walk the coast of the UK to raise money for charity.
