Famous sportsmen and a Hollywood actor have sent messages of encouragement to a Norfolk dad and two others who are walking 600 miles to raise awareness about suicide.

'Three Dads Walking' - Andy Airey, Mike Palmer and Tim Owen from Kings Lynn, all lost their daughters to suicide over the past few years, and they are currently halfway through their trek from Stormont to Putney.

They are doing this to try and get suicide prevention put on the national curriculum for all schools across the UK.

"Just truly heroic"

Here's the departing James Bond, Daniel Craig:

"Andy, Mike, Tim- just incredible. What you achieved last time round and what you are about to do now is just truly heroic. I'm sending you my love and best wishes. Shout loudly, I know you'll be heard. All my very best good luck".

"Fantastic, and very inspiring fellas"

Ricky Hatton and footballer Lou Macari also got in touch:

"I believe 'The Three Dads Walking charity' are doing another walk- fantastic, and very inspiring fellas. Keep up the good work and keep spreading the word.

"Hope to catch up with you at some stage of the walk and to join up with you for the remainder. Lets see how it goes".
