Manager Cole Skuse, assistant manager, Paul Musgrove, wife Maria, kit manager, Micky Warren, wife Julie, took part in the March of the Day 2 charity fund-raising walk on March 23.

They joined hundreds of others on a 178 mile trek from Wembley Stadium to Ipswich Town FC, in a show of support for Ipswich Town hero, Marcus Stewart, who is fighting the disease.

The team raised £1,000, against their target of £250, for the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.

Stewart and former Liverpool and Bradford City player Stephen Darby arranged March of the Day 2, having raised £173,000 for Darby Rimmer MND Foundation with last year's event.

The foundation was set up by Darby and friend Chris Rimmer to raise money for research into MND and to support those living with it.

The Bury team’s fund is still open at www.justgiving.com/page/btfcmarchoftheday2

March of the Day 2 itself raised more than £150,000
