Quartet to go from New York Stadium to Proact

A Spireites quartet are to accompany Sky Sports’ Jeff Stelling on a leg of his walk, in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.

Chesterfield chief executive Chris Turner, media chief Nick Johnson, head of commercial and marketing Kevin Fitzgerald and former player Bob Newton will walk with the presenter from Rotherham United to Chesterfield FC..

Stelling, the host of Soccer Saturday, is to walk from Hartlepool United to Wembley this month, clocking in over 250 miles and checking in on 31 football clubs.

He said: Jeff said: “I deal in statistics – but the ones we are dealing with here are shocking. One man dies every hour from this disease, that’s six in the course of Soccer Saturday every week. One in eight men will get prostate cancer, and for black men the odds are even worse at one in four.

“Within the next 10 years Prostate Cancer UK believes they will find the answers to make this disease something men and their loved ones no longer fear. I’ve met the scientists who pledge to do this and I can see how dedicated they are. But do to this we need to raise vital funds – and I need everyone to support me and all the men affected by prostate cancer by visiting menunitedmarch.org and pledging their support.”
