Recently, the Salford Star tried to highlight the community work of the Salford Red Devils Foundation but there was just so much of it the article barely skimmed the surface...
...The Foundation helps the community with everything, from mental health to healthier lifestyles, and from aspiration-raising for young people to aiding employment prospects, while using sport and rugby as the focus. And the Foundation has engaged with 40,000 Salfordians in the last year alone (see article click here).
Now, the Die Hard Red Devil Fans have organised a 15 mile Sponsored Walk, from Manchester Airport to the AJ Bell Stadium on Sunday 30th September to raise money for the Foundation.
The walk starts at 8am (with a lift to the starting point) and is expected to take around five or six hours to complete. Once at the Stadium walkers will get free entry into the main stand for the Toulouse match, food and drink, a medal, a certificate, and will do a lap of honour around the pitch at half time.
"We need more fans to pull together to raise money for the Salford Red Devil Foundation" says walk organiser Russell Chesters "They deserve this, they have worked so hard In the community...mental health, players' welfare in sport, education and more.
"Dr Devil is now doing the walk" he adds "He has already raised over £230 with one person donating £150."
There are no age restrictions, although under 16s should be accompanied by an adult. To join the walk fill out the entry form by clicking here.
