Supporters of Aylesbury United walked to their away game at Leighton Buzzard to raise money for Youth Concern, Aylesbury, and raise awareness of the club's ongoing Bring the Ducks Home campaign.
The 25 kilometer walk has already raised £1,816 for Youth Concern, which will help the charity support young people across Aylesbury Vale, through their Drop-in Centre, counselling service and homelessness prevention projects.
Aylesbury United Director Andy Martin said "it was an enjoyable walk but I'm sure the majority were quite sore afterwards, as I was! 17 people took part which was great including an 11 year old and a 16 year old from our pan-disability team. The later played football the day after (to be young again 😂)."

Oscar's grandmother and parents are volunteer Nightstop hosts, offering homeless young people a room in their own houses when needed.
