A sponsored walk from Wembley to Portman Road is set to start on Friday, co-started by a former Ipswich Town Legend. 

March of the Day 2 will see the friends, family and fans of ex-Blues striker Marcus Stewart and former Huddersfield Town player Stephen Darby complete the more than 170-mile journey that will visit 25 football clubs on the way.

Friday will see the team set off from Wembley at 9am with stops at Barnet FC, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Brentford before the final stop of the day at AFC Wimbledon.

The core team will walk through the night from Wimbledon, before continuing the journey on Saturday with visits to Crystal Palace, Millwall, West Ham, Leyton Orient and Billericay Town. 

The final day will take the group from the London-Essex border to Chelmsford, Braintree, Colchester United before crossing the line at Portman Road at about 7pm on Sunday. 

As of Thursday, over £90,000 has been raised for the Darby Rimmer MND, a cause started by Darby and supported by Stewart, both of whom live with motor neurone disease.
