People urged to take part in walkathon

Derbyshire Cricket Foundation is looking for people to take part in its annual T20 Walkathon.

This year, the event will again be raising money not only to support the work of the foundation but also the Bob Willis Fund to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.

It will take place on Friday 14 June – and individuals and teams can sign up for either a 20-mile walk or a five-mile walk.

At the end of the walk, participants will be invited to enjoy the Vitality Blast T20 game between the Derbyshire Falcons and Northamptonshire Steelbacks.

In a statement, the foundation said: “Our T20 Walkathon event helps us raise vital funds which are used to deliver projects in Derby city and the wider county with the aim of empowering communities and improving lives.

“Money raised will also help us support more people through our Access to Cricket Grants, providing grants of up to £300 to enable people to access cricket who might not otherwise afford to.”
