Doncaster cricketers to tackle Yorkshire Three Peaks for Andy's Man Club

Players from Askern Welfare Cricket Club will be attempting the exhausting Yorkshire Three Peaks walk – with money from the fundraising trek being split between the club’s newly formed junior section and Andy’s Man Club, a nationwide organisation to help men with mental health issues.

The challenge on March 2 will see the team tackle approximately 24 miles of hiking across Yorkshire's largest peaks – Whernside , Ingleborough and Pen-Y-Ghent - taking in the stunning Yorkshire countryside.

The goal is to raise as close to the £1,500 target as possible and allow the team to contribute a 50/50 split between the junior section for equipment both training and match days and the chosen charity.

A spokesman said: “We aim to make a small difference to a community based programme in providing a safe and enjoyable space for kids whilst also aiding a leading mental health charity.

“Andy's Man Club is turning the tide on the stigma surrounding mental health and men talking through their mental health battles.”

"Any donations and/or support are welcome for the lads as they aim to do this.”

The funds raised will be used to pay for equipment and training a swell as running costs for the year for the club’s two youth teams which play at U11 and U13s level.
