Back the walk

Posted on: Wed 24 Nov 2010

Preparations for Graham Duckworth's charity walk continue to go from strength to strength as time ticks down to the start date.

To help raise funds for the Bradford Burns Unit, City's Assistant Kit Manager will walk the 73 miles between the Coral Windows Stadium and Sincil Bank ahead of the Bantams match at Lincoln City.

Graham hopes to complete the charity walk in less than 24 hours over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

The life-long City supporter has been combining gym sessions with walking to work everyday to get himself ready for the big day.

Even when he's away with the team on overnight stays, he has taken to doing early morning laps of areas surrounding the hotel.

He recently told the official website: "I'm pleased with the way my training has been going so far".

"There are some days when it's cold and wet and windy that seem quite hard work, but I am determined to complete this walking challenge, so the training has to be done."

City's charity walker expects to have his own website up and running in the next week or so, along with a twitter account, so supporters can find out even more about the walk.

And while Graham's plans for the walk seem to be on schedule, he admits he would still be open to offers of support from fellow City fans.

"The people who have supported me and helped with with this project so far have been brilliant, but I am wise enough to know that you can never have enough help": said Graham.

"I would still be delighted to hear from any supporters who feel they maybe able to help me with the planning of the walk or during the walk itself."

On his previous conversation with the official website, Graham explained his reasons behind the walk.

"Working at the football club and supporting Bradford as well, the Burns Unit is something that is close to my heart" he said.

"Any true City fan realises what a worthy cause the Burn Unit appeal is and I am happy to play my part in helping to raise funds".
