Story

On Friday 22nd March 2024, a team of walkers will embark on an arduous trek from the University of Bradford Stadium to Anfield, stopping by 17 other football stadia on the way, to raise vital funds for the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, dedicated to City legend Stephen Darby and former Huddersfield Town forward Marcus Stewart, both of whom suffer from motor neurone disease.

Sponsored by the PFA and organised by Redwood Events, the trek will begin on the Friday, the day before the Bantams travel to Harrogate Town, and is set to end on Sunday March 24. Off-field City staff will take part, having taken on the Claret and Amber Ramble in April 2023, along with a number of Darby and Stewart's former teammates from City and Bolton Wanderers, as organised by Filipe Morais.

And, with a number of high-profile former professionals already signed up to take part - including Jill Scott, Paul Scholes, Chris Kirkland, Nicky Butt, Mick McCarthy, Dominic Matteo, David May, John McGinlay, Martin Kelly and Neil Mellor - please help us as we come together to #AttackMND, and raise as much money as we can for the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.
