Grassroots Football Tour · 6 June 2025

Former Liverpool, Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers footballer Stephen Darby and close friend and British Forces Veteran Chris Rimmer have partnered together to launch the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. Stephen and Chris both have Motor Neurone Disease and have created a Foundation to create awareness of MND, to fund and assist research into the illness with the quest of finding a cure for the illness, to raise funds and offer grants to those with MND, as well as creating a network to help provide information and emotional support network for those diagnosed with the disease.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The Grassroots Football Tour will be staged on 6-8 June 2025 starting and ending at Ossett United. The route visits 21 other football grounds over a distance of 156 miles. A core team of 16 will take on the full distance with many other walkers joining along the route.

Our team, ‘Smiles for Miles’ consists of Lesley Jackson, Jayne Greensill, Clare Fowler, Michelle Pickering & Gillian Kerfoot. We’ll be walking on Friday 6 June and will cover the full distance of the first leg (Ossett United FC to Halifax FC) which will be 30 miles!

All walkers taking part in the Grassroots Football Tour will set up their own pages linked to this main event page,

All the money donated in this way goes directly to the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. All donations are gratefully received.
