The 54 years old Henry Smith and his trainees are on a remarkable journey to break the world record for trekking long distances on foot. Trekking 224 kilometers from Takoradi to Accra and other destinations is quite an annual tradition for 54-year-old Henry. He’s been doing this since 1996, showcasing his resilience, strength, and courage. And this time, he’s accompanied by Millicent Assane and Lawrence Manful, who are supporting him throughout the journey.
“I’ve walked from Elubo to Shama; Elubo to Aflao and other destinations in the past 27 years. The walk from Takoradi to Accra started on a Thursday and ended Sunday. We only took a rest at Winneba on Friday, and resumed Saturday. When I am alone, I usually don’t rest,” he told TV3 in an interview.
He wasn’t alone on this journey that tests the physical strength of a 54-year-old.
He was kept company by two trainees, Millicent Assane and Lawrence Manful, who have committed to stay with him through the highs and lows all the way to their destinations.
