Between March 21-23, we’re attempting to walk from Wembley Stadium to Portman Road. This 100 mile route will take us past 30 football grounds across London, Essex and Suffolk, starting in Wembley and finishing at the home of the blues in Portman Road.

We’re doing this as part of March of the Day 2 which was set up by Stephen Darby and Marcus Stewart, both ex-pro footballers who have been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

Marcus Stewart is a Town legend, and with over 150 years (combined!) of support for the Blues in our team of walkers, we felt it it was the right thing to do to join this walk in support of him and to help raise funds to combat this terrible illness.

Our seven-person team consists of life-long ITFC supporters and season ticket holders Issac Ahmed, Gary French, Eric Searle, Richard Teager and Marie Teager with James Newson and Oli Watts joining alongside them.

Also walking the route will be a number of ex-pro footballers, and those impacted by Motor Neurone Disease.

This includes town legends Marcus Stewart himself and Matt Holland who played together in the May 2000 playoff final, when the Blues beat Barnsley 4-2 to secure promotion back into the Prem.

Marcus and Matt’s participation in the walk has been generously sponsored by Mixbrow Construction (who Gary, Eric and Isaac all work for) and Henry Abbott Hardware (who James works for)
