A walking enthusiast who trekked across Canada for a total of six months has now reached the end of his journey.

Calgary resident Syed Soharwardy, who embarked on the Multifaith Walk Against Violence, said that he gained support from a wide variety of people of different religions.

Mr Soharwardy also went through a total of five pairs of walking shoes, as well as losing ten kilograms of weight on his 6,470-kilometre trek.

“I heard voices of support all along the way. In every town and every city, people came out and testified their support and walked with me for a kilometre or two,” he stated.

He also said the walk had helped people of different religions establish connections and friendships.

Another charity-related walk was embarked upon recently by athlete Manny Ohonme, who walked 300 miles in his bare feet to highlight the plight of the 300 million people in the world who have no shoes.
