Tyrannosaurus Treks Comes to Perth!
Champion charity fundraiser, Lloyd Scott, is undertaking a COLOSSAL challenge to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust by walking from Land’s End to John O’Groats alongside a lifesize replica of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and this week he’ll be visiting St John’s Shopping Centre in Perth.

The T-Rex is 30 feet long, and 12 feet high and he began his nationwide trek, which will cover more than 1,000 miles and take 70 days, in July and has raised almost £130,000 for the charity since he set off.

Tyrannosaurus Treks will visit St John's Shopping Centre in Perth on Sunday 13th September all day and members of the public are warmly invited to come down to see the life size spectacle that was the world’s most feared dinosaur and to assist Lloyd with his fundraising.

“Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity very close to my heart having survived leukaemia at a young age. I wanted to do something big for the charity this year to celebrate my life saving transplant and you can’t get much bigger than a life-size dinosaur!” Lloyd Scott.
