Story
This page has been set up to log the donations to the efforts of the 33 ECB First Class umpires as they attempt to walk the equivalant distance of walking from the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan to Old Trafford, Manchester and back in 3 months.
The total distance is 9,436 miles, which is almost the distance that they would, as group, cover on field whilst umpiring during a domestic cricket season. The idea for the walk came during the Covid 19 lock down, to not lose the miles that they would normally cover.
Please be generous in your support as the umpires set out either on
foot, by bike, or on a rowing machine to cover what will prove to be a
significant challenge and follow the highs and lows of the 33’s efforts
on this page over the next couple of months!
