TWO brothers are set to embark on a mammoth walking challenge in a bid to fulfil the lifelong wish of their late mother.
The team, including Andrew and Fred Procter, will walk 70 miles in three days this Easter, between every Lancashire League Cricket ground, in memory of Jean Procter, 70, who died last October.
Mrs Procter was a lifelong member of Rishton Cricket Club and always dreamed of being able to afford to buy the club a new electronic scoreboard.
They are now bidding to raise £12,000, to split equally between the club and Macmillan Nurses, the charity that provided care to Mrs Procter as she battled cancer.
Pledges have already reached £3,000.
The team, Andrew, Fred, Lee Sawyer, Ian Hargreaves, and Grant Roberts, will visit all 14 grounds of the Lancashire League between April 22 and 24.3.
