This is a 23 mile walk from Wakefield Trinity to Newsome Panthers calling at seven other rugby league grounds. The walk will take place on Saturday November 26th. The event will raise funds for Bev Newton who has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a neurological condition which affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The average life expectancy is just 2-5 years from the onset of symptoms. A third of people diagnosed will die within a year and half within 2 years. It’s a 1/300 lifetime risk in the UK of being diagnosed with MND. That’s 3 children in each and every school today.

Money raised for Bev will be used to adapt her home which will require significant re-modelling to cater for the changes needed as the disease develops.

Newsome Panthers have already provided significant support for Bev and her family and is at the heart of this event.
