Christian Lewis

On 1 August 2017, former paratrooper Christian Lewis set off from Swansea to walk the entire coastline of the UK. Chris’ search for self-discovery, and to raise awareness and funds for the veterans charity SSAFA, would become a journey beyond his or anyone’s expectations. From raising over a half a million pounds, to adopting a dog called Jet, to finding love with fellow adventurer Kate, he had no idea that when he started this once-in-a-life-time experience he would be crossing the finish line (some six years later) with a fiancee, a baby and renewed sense of purpose. His story is one of survival and hope, but it’s also proof that, with the right mindset, anything is possible. Finding Hildasay, Christian’s first book about his journey, was a Sunday Times bestseller.
