The man, who appeared sad as he spoke, said he opened up about his proposal to walk to Ghana to his mother and others in his circle, who encouraged him.
In preparing for this adventurous yet daunting walk, Daniel stated that he had already embarked on short-distance walks of 10, 15, and 20 miles.
Initially, the middle-aged man explained that he intended to start his walk from London to Kumasi on September 20, 2025, the day he and his late fiancée were supposed to get married.
He said his initial plan changed due to an injury he suffered at work, hence his decision to start the journey on November 7, 2025.
Daniel then concluded by thanking all those who had openly offered words of encouragement to him after he shared his plan with the netizens of the world.
