Fundraising walk held 'to remember and help' soldiers

Former Welsh Guards Officer Jan Koops is one of a small group planning to walk the entire 870-mile stretch of the Wales Coastal Path to raise money for forces charities.

This is a very personal journey of remembrance for me. It's a pilgrimage that I have wanted to do for many years.

I hope that this walk will allow us to acknowledge those who died and help those who are in need.

– Jan Koops

The fundraising walk began today at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay.
