Mark Whitwood
EIGHT cyclists will set off on a gruelling European trek to raise cash for Marina Dalglish’s cancer charity.
Mark Whitwood and seven friends will cycle a football-themed 1,000 miles from Barcelona to Anfield, ending their 10-day trek at the Shankly Gates.
En route, the team will pick up signed shirts from major teams, which will be auctioned off at a charity ball at Anfield.
Mr Whitwood, of Maghull, said he decided to organise the ride around Europe because his fiancee’s father died from cancer three years ago.
The 28-year-old said: “We raised £7,000 and our target is £25,000.
“All the team is really excited, but nervous.”
