Hicks To Raise Funds For Prostate Cancer Research

 

Former Hereford United player Keith Hicks is to raise funds for prostate cancer research.

“This event that will see myself, plus family take on three challenges to raise funds for Prostate Cancer research and Joe Thompson, ex-Rochdale professional footballer, battle against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma," Hicks told Matt Healey for YourHerefordshire

"The challenges revolve around matches played by Rochdale AFC including a 7 mile run to Oldham Athletic, a 20 mile walk to Altrincham FC and a 50 mile bike ride from AFC Fylde to Rochdale AFC taking place during March and April, I think the sons, who started this idea, have forgotten that I’m 70 years old now or it’s a plan to see me off”

Inspired by Joe Thompson’s legacy and their own family’s Prostate Cancer diagnosis’ members of Team Hicks – Keith, Graham, Dan, Colette and Oliver will be taking on 3 challenges over March & April, the finishing lines being at 3 Rochdale AFC matches:

Run from Rochdale AFC to Oldham Athletic AFC – 6.8 miles

Walk from Rochdale AFC to Altrincham FC – 20 miles

Cycle from AFC Fylde to Rochdale AFC – 51.9 miles
