An elderly man has embarked on a 530km charity walk that will see him traverse several counties to raise funds for needy students.

Issack Gacugo, 83, is hoping to traverse Tharaka Nithi, Meru and Laikipia counties in bid to establish an endowment fund for poor and bright students.

The charity walk was flagged off by Tharaka University Vice Chancellor Peter Muriungi.
