Major Chris Brannigan completes 700-mile barefoot walk

AN ARMY major has completed his mission to walk barefoot from Land’s End to Edinburgh to fund the research and development of a gene therapy treatment to help his daughter.

Major Chris Brannigan, who is based at Tidworth Garrison, set off on his 700 mile journey in July and reached his destination on August 12.

His eight-year-old daughter Hasti was diagnosed with the disorder Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) in 2018, which currently has no cure or treatment.

In March, he set up CdLS Hope for Hasti, a charity aiming to fund the research and development of a ground breaking gene therapy treatment for children suffering from the disease.
