Nathan taking on endurance event after he had to learn to walk again

‘THIS WALK IS ABOUT SHOWING WHAT’S POSSIBLE’

- 

A MAN who had to relearn to walk is preparing to take on the Peak District Ultra Challenge to raise thousands of pounds for charity after life-altering surgery.

Nathan Chilton, 39, who lives in Stockport, will tackle the demanding 75km distance of the endurance event on July 4-5, as part of a fundraising drive with a target of £5,000.

Originally from Derbyshire, Nathan moved to Greater Manchester at the end of 2021 ahead of major surgery that would change his life.

Nathan is taking on the challenge after more than a decade of medical battles following his diagnosis with a chondroblastoma, a rare bone tumour, in 2013.

Nathan said: “I am doing this challenge to prove to myself that anything is possible after life-changing events.

“I was told that I would find it difficult to walk, that I might never walk without a stick.
