Tom Walters, 30, from Southsea, is a marketing officer at Chichester College and was diagnosed with depression after his brother died several years ago.

Both he and his friend Morgan Calton, 30, suffered as a result of losing a loved one. They have spent the past few weeks cycling from Hanoi, in Vietnam, to Singapore.
