Jeff goes out on the road

If any of you enjoy dipping into Soccer Saturday on Sky you will have noticed, throughout January, the panel are wearing Man of Men badges. I’m sorry to be so frivolous but they do look so good on the suit lapels of  Jeff and the team, really striking. From time to time I have noticed Tiss, Jeff and Paul displaying the badge but it was very noticeable when they all were wearing them so I decided to look into it.

Jeff Stelling will be heading a Men United March during which he will walk the 260 miles from Hartlepool to Wembley, essentially walking the equivalent to a marathon every day for 10 days. Any Jeff fan will know of his, at times despairing, dedication to Hartlepool United FC which explains why he chose Victoria Park as his starting point on March 21^st 2016. From there his route will visit 30 football grounds  as he heads south. He knows he can rely on members of the Soccer Saturday team to share parts of his journey but he is also keen for people along the way to join in.

There are hundreds of people, thousands, around the World raising funds and building awareness for Prostate Cancer.  I have no doubt that Prostate Cancer is one of the cancers which we can defeat which is partly why I am participating. Progress in diagnosis and treatment is announced regularly. Even so today we are still faced with 10,000 men in the UK losing their lives to the disease and so many more around the Globe.  It is so essential we continue the fight and Jeff's contribution can only build the momentum towards victory.
