Watford FC fan raises money for Turkey and Syria victims

Danny Clifford, 19, said he plans to walk 400m for every £10 donated, and so far £870 of his £1,000 target has been raised.

When the target is met, he will decide where his walk will start and finish and how many days it will be done over.

Danny said he planned on doing a charity walk last year, but the start of university got in the way.

But now the first-year biochemical sciences student at Brunel University feels he is settled and is ready to raise money for charity.

He said: “I also have a close friend who has family in Turkey that has been affected by the earthquake and I wanted to help.

“And another big turning point for me was when someone pointed out that people spend their money on alcohol and not helping others.

“I thought, ‘he’s got a point here’.”

All the money from the sponsored walk with be donated to the International Rescue Committee.

Danny, who grew up in Ruislip, said donations will be accepted even after the target is met.
