It was October 1992 when he embarked on his South Coast Walk, a noble endeavor to raise funds for Leukaemia Research. Having walked all the way from Truro, Botham's determination and athleticism were truly awe-inspiring.

The atmosphere was electric as locals gathered to welcome their beloved sportsman along with the Mayors of Lostwithiel and Restormel. Excited children from nearby schools joined other well-wishers in expressing their admiration for Botham's charitable efforts.
