Jeff Stelling starts new March for Men charity walk for Prostate Cancer UK

Jeff Stelling's March for Men

Jeff Stelling has begun the first day of another unbelievable walking challenge for Prostate Cancer UK.

Teaming up with the leading men's health organisation, the Soccer Saturday host is aiming to raise £500,000 on his March for Men by doing 15 walking marathons in 15 days as he travels from Exeter City to Newcastle United. Along the way he'll be visiting over 40 football clubs and he'll be joined by some famous faces.

Friday saw him journey from Exeter City to non-league side Wellington AFC and he spoke to Sky Sports News after a few miles of his first daily marathon walk.

"Later in the walk we'll have everyone from Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher and the Soccer Saturday boys, with the likes of Denis Law, Gordon Banks, Simon Grayson, Danny Mills and Sean Dyche also joining us along the way.

"It's a glittering array of people coming out to support a fantastic cause."

Last year, Stelling and his close friend, former Hartlepool chief executive Russ Green, walked 10 marathons in 10 days from the club's ground Victoria Park all the way to Wembley.

"It was tough last year, the first few days in particular are really tough but your body does adjust to it," he said.

"It's a case of mind over matter, and your brain convincing your body you can walk more than a marathon a day, and when you've got a body like mine it does take some explaining!"
