PROSTATE CANCER UK want football fans to make a Non-League Day Pledge for Men United.
Pledges can be as simple as vowing to take a friend to a game or donating £20 if your team keeps a clean sheet or striker bags a hat-trick.
The charity have also teamed up with National League sponsor Vanarama for a #WearTheWig campaign.
Vanarama, who helped raise more than £7,000 on last year's Non-League Day, will donate £10 for fans who tweet a selfie while wearing a wig.
Andy Alderson, Managing Director of Vanarama, said “We're delighted to be once again supporting two very worthy causes. As National League sponsors we are proud to play our part in supporting Non-League Day. By partnering with Prostate Cancer UK we hope to raise as much as we can to support what is a vital charity, doing great work. We hope fans will have as much fun supporting the campaign as we will.”
And staff from Prostate Cancer UK and fans will also take part in a 10k walk from the Bulls Head – 2 Oak Lane, Kerridge, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 5BD – which will be rebranded as a Men United Arms, to Macclesfield Town's ground before the 12.30pm kick off with Kidderminster.
Fans that can't join that specific walk to the ground are encouraged to pound the pavement from wherever they are – potentially encouraging them to donate their bus/train fare to the charity instead via text or in a collection tin at the club bar.
Bacon sandwiches and tea and coffee will be available at the pub from 8.45am with the walk kicking-off around 9.30am. The walk goes through Tytherington, through the town centre and up Manchester Road to Moss Rose.
On the walk will be Prostate Cancer UK volunteer Chris Thompson who was diagnosed with the disease around three years ago.
He said: “I've always been a keen walker so it will be great to spread the message in such a fun way. I look forward to joining plenty of people on the day.”
