Story
We’re taking on a four-day charity walk from Anfield to Elland Road, covering around 20 miles a day, to raise money for Dementia UK.
We’ll be setting off from Anfield on 20th April and walking across the country over four days, before arriving at Elland Road on 24th April, ahead of the Leeds United vs Liverpool fixture. Our aim is to make it to Elland Road before kick-off and, hopefully, get the chance to watch the game after completing the challenge.
We’re doing the walk in memory of Hilda, Ethan’s grandma, who lived with dementia before she passed away. Although dementia was not the cause of her death, she experienced the condition during her life, and we wanted to take on something meaningful in her memory while supporting other people and families affected by dementia.
Our fundraising target is £2,500 for Dementia UK.
Walking around 20 miles a day for four days is going to be a massive physical and mental challenge for us, but having Hilda’s memory and such an important cause behind us will give every mile a purpose.
Football is bringing the challenge together — starting at one iconic stadium and finishing at another — but the reason behind the walk is much bigger than football.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help us towards our £2,500 target and support the incredible work Dementia UK does for families affected by dementia.
Anfield ➡️ Elland Road. Four days. Around 20 miles a day. One very important cause. ❤️
Thank you for supporting us.
