Joe Thompson made his name as a footballer for Rochdale, Tranmere Rovers, Carlisle United, Bury and Southport after coming through the youth ranks at Manchester United. Joe has recently been diagnosed with cancer for the third time. His friends and family and many of his former teammates and fellow pros from the football community are looking to do all they can to help Joe. They are looking to raise a total of £250,000 to support in through his treatment as he faces into his cancer battle once more.

There are a number of activities in plan top support this fundraising. There is a football match involving a number of high profile ex-players at Rochdale in May. One of his former teammates approached Redwood Events about staging one of our walks to support this cause. So we are planning Walk With Me For JT on October 12. 

Registration for walkers is now closed. 45 teams and 227 walkers have signed up to take part in the walk. Walkers can still turn up on the day to take part but its unlikely that there will be any t-shirts available as they were bought to order based on the original registration process.
