Hi all.

Stevenage fan here in peace.

A Brighton Fan on another forum said to post my story on your forum as it may get noticed more so here goes :)

Totally understand this has no direct relevance to Brighton but I'm just trying to reach out to as many football supporters as possible.

Just wanna promote a charity walk myself and 10 other Stevenage fans are doing in August in memory of our former player Mitchell Cole and raising money for his families chosen charity, the Cardiomyopathy Association or CMA for short. We are starting on a friday at Oxford Uniteds stadium and returning to the lamex stadium in Stevenage in time for kick off of our 1st home game of the 2013-14 season, Oldham at home on the 3rd of August. Roughly 65 miles in about 21 hours............................we think.........................we hope

When Mitchell passed in December last year obviously it was a total shock. Our club held a benefit game in his memory and it was great to see a fans from many clubs there showing their support.

We are wearing the shirts from the 11 football clubs Mitch represented during his career. They are Norwich, West Ham, Southend, Northampton, Grays, Stevenage, Oxford, Hitchin, Biggleswade, Arlseley and Stotfold. All shirts will have COLE 21 on the back (21 being Mitch's squad number at the Boro).

If anybody would like to make a donation to the CMA charity then please do so through the attached link.

Good luck for the 2013-14 and thanks for your time and support

Kind regards

Terry

Is 21 hours long enough? Walking pace is around 3mph, but if you take toilet stops etc. into account you might be pushing it to make KO!

Thanks for the kind words about our club :)

Thanks nwgull for your kind donation.
We have been training for quite some time now and can walk 26 miles in 8 hours fairly comfortably, it will be close thats for sure but it always takes the Boro 15 minutes to settle into the game ;)

Kind regards

There were two or three Stevenage fans who turned up for all three marches to the conferences at the Brighton centre.

Yup.....I was one of the 2. But then I had dual supporting tendences whilst living for 30+ years in the area. Still had to support my 'home' club at it's hour of need.
