The trek, dubbed 'March of the Day', has been led by former footballers Stephen Darby and Marcus Stewart, who both suffer from MND, a rare condition affecting the brain and nerves.

Darby is married to Manchester City defender and former England captain Steph Houghton, and the support of Kelly and Jill Scott on this walk is just the latest example of how her team-mates have got behind the pair over the years.
The Cityzens' players wore 'March of the Day' t-shirts in the warm-up for Saturday's Manchester derby while Georgia Stanway, who played with Houghton at City for seven years before moving to Bayern Munich, is a patron of the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.
