He decided to raise money for Mind after struggling with his own mental health. 

"I had struggled with depression and anxiety which led to suicidal thoughts," he said.

"It was terrifying. The charity Mind helped in my recovery to mental wellness and I wanted to give back."

While on the south coast, Mr Lloyd prevented a suicidal woman from taking her own life.

He said: "I told her I knew how she felt, and that was enough to bring her to safety.

"I didn’t know what to do from there, but luckily a crisis team and the police took over.
