The group will walk from the Crown Oil Arena to Blackpool Tower
Rochdale AFC Military Veterans, Their4U Fundraising and Dale In The Community Sports Trust will be walking from Rochdale to Blackpool to raise money.
The team will be raising funds for military veterans in the Rochdale area with the 43-mile walk from the Crown Oil Arena to the famous Blackpool Tower on Saturday 19 March.
Adam Trennery, a former Royal Navy Engineer, and manager of Rochdale AFC Military Veterans, said: “As military veterans ourselves, we believe in doing more for our community.
“With the funds we raise from this walk, we will be able to get more veterans engaged in different groups, sports activities, days out and even help for any emergency equipment needed, etc.
“We are hoping to raise £1,000 which would be a massive help for the veteran community of Rochdale. If anyone would like to jump on, you’re more than welcome to.”
Donations can be made via GoFundMe.
