The sporting community has rallied together for the 'March of the Day' event, a significant 178-mile walking challenge aimed at raising awareness and funds for Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Participants, including former Bradford City teammates and notable football stars such as Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt, embarked on a journey spanning from Bradford to Leeds and then to Huddersfield. The event, supported by entities like the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, has been highlighted for its communal spirit, with individuals from both football and rugby leagues contributing to the cause. Ex-Bantam Filipe Morais praised the initiative, emphasizing the importance of friendship and support within the community. The challenge has been met with widespread acclaim, with participants and observers alike drawing inspiration from the effort and unity displayed.
