The fundraiser restarted his mammoth effort in April this year after being brought to a hault in Wick in March during lockdown and recently was the unfortunate victim of an attack in August during a stop-over in Inverness
Mr Tofalli’s exploits for mental health and autism charities have captured the imagination of many thousands on social media under his banner of “music saves lives”.
A video of him tinkling the ivories at Dores beach by Loch Ness went viral.
Mr Tofalli, a former chef, became addicted to the ‘zombie drug’ Spice, but went cold turkey in 2015.
The causes he is raising cash for are close to his heart given his own damaging experiences.
Having set off in April this year he hopes to reach Land’s End early next year.
