The 13 day walk around Viti Levu came to an end today for the Walk on Walk Strong Kids Fiji team who took on the challenge to raise funds for children who are suffering from cancer and other life threatening diseases.

One of the core walkers, 62-year-old Francis Chung of Samabula who is wheelchair bound said he had to use a hand cycle to make his way on the hills.

Chung who is a former Para triathlete said he feels good carrying out a worthy cause.
