Three Watford season ticket holders have completed a "brutal" 100-kilometre walk from the capital to the coast to raise money for charity.
Kirk Moon, 44, and brothers David, 54, and Martin Brown, 51, took part in the London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge on Saturday, May 25, in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.
JustGiving, beating their £2,200 target.
Under the team name 'Old Sods on a Plod', they set out from Richmond at 10am and arrived at the Brighton Racecourse 29.5 hours later, raising over £3,400 on“The support has been absolutely fantastic,” Martin said. “It’s been a lot better than what we thought but we didn’t realise how brutal the end of the walk was going to be!
“There were times we thought we had had enough and our feet were killing us, but then you think about the lives you are hopefully going to save and a few blisters could be worth it just for that.”
Martin said they chose the charity after learning that several friends and colleagues had been affected by the disease. The trio were also featured in the Watford FC programme ahead of the Sunderland home game on April 27.
