Watch: Matthew Camilleri Begins Walk Across Malta In Aid Of Richmond Foundation

After weeks of preparation and a fundraising campaign that surpassed its target before he even took his first step, Matthew Camilleri has officially begun his walk across Malta in aid of Richmond Foundation.

Setting off in the early hours of this morning, Camilleri is taking on the physical and mental challenge to raise awareness and funds for the organisation, which supports mental health and wellbeing in Malta.

Ahead of the walk, Camilleri thanked everyone who donated, shared and supported the initiative, describing the response as overwhelming after reaching the fundraising goal before the event began.

Despite hitting the target, donations remain open, with all proceeds going directly to Richmond Foundation and its work within the community.

Camilleri will be sharing updates throughout the day as he makes his way across the island, with supporters following his progress online and cheering him on from afar.

Good luck, Matthew!
