Local man Gavin Thomas was one of the baton bearers for the Portsmouth leg for the Baton of Hope Walk.

The baton was held by more than 100 volunteers as they passed the baton through Portsmouth.

Started in 2023, the walk was started by two fathers reaching out in their grief. Shine Radio’s Julie Butler followed up on a previous interview with Gavin and joined him at the finish line.
