ENGLAND Rugby star, Jeremy Guscott will walk past Vicarage Road Stadium on Thursday, November 8, as part of his gruelling Tetley's Trek to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for the Leukaemia Research Fund.

Guscott, 36, will be coming past the home of Watford FC and Saracens between 1pm and 1.30pm in his attempt to walk a marathon a day, covering 800 miles around England and visiting every Premiership rugby ground.

All the money raised from this event, which culminates at Twickenham on Saturday, November 10, for the England v Australia clash, is going to the Leukaemia Research Fund.

The LRF is the only national charity solely devoted to researching the treatments, causes and cures for leukaemia and all blood related cancers.

21,500 people, young and old, are diagnosed every year with leukaemia or another of the blood cancers and it is the most common childhood cancer.

The money raised from the Tetley's Trek will take the LRF steps closer to finding the causes and ultimately cures for these life-threatening diseases.
