One month into Frank Stedman's prison sentence, he lost his brother to suicide. Unable to attend the funeral, the prison put Frank into segregation because he was considered to be an escape risk. He spent 10 days on the block before being moved to a category A prison, HMP Belmarsh.


Fast forward several years, Frank has completed his sentence and runs his own business. But he retains a desire to help others who are in prison to get through what can be the most difficult of times. He also loves National Prison Radio. And so when Frank contacted us out of the blue to ask if he'd be able to walk 200 miles in 10 days to raise money for the Prison Radio Association, we were delighted to support his incredible efforts.


This is the story of Frank's walk, and of a man who retains an astonishingly positive outlook in spite of everything. It's an uplifting story of joy and optimism.
