In 2024 and 2025, the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation staged its first two March of the Day events. Together, the events in the north and London/south-east of England raised more than £370,000.
The club has previously supported the charity at a pre-season friendly in 2019 following Stephen’s diagnosis. The sell-out encounter at Bradford City helped raise more £275,000 to kick start the charity.
This year’s event is the biggest yet and will span 340 miles over six days, visiting 45 football and rugby league grounds.
The challenge will support both the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation and Leeds Hospitals Charity, which supports the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease care.
Hundreds of football and rugby league fans are expected to join sections of the route, including a 160-mile stretch from Liverpool to Stockport, showing their support for the MND community.
Stadiums visited along the route include Anfield, Goodison Park, Hill Dickinson Stadium, St Helens Stadium, Deepdale and Elland Road before completing the walk at the Rob Burrows Centre for MND on Saturday (June 6).
