Anything for a good cause!

63-year-old Brit Patrick Baddeley has walked for over 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles) through India's east coast for charity, Times of India reports.

He set out from India's southernmost tip, Kanyakumari, last October, walked six hours a day, and crossed four states and three dozen towns to reach Kolkata earlier this month. 

Baddeley's K-Walk, named after his late daughter Katie, was started to raise funds for Future Hope, a not-for-profit that cares for street children in Kolkata. 

And he's managed to raise £11,757 ($12,715) from 124 supporters on fund-raising platform JustGiving, thus crossing his original target of  £10,000 ($10,815). The funds will be used for the home, schooling and healthcare of street and slum kids.  Read more...
