On July 25, the Mintcakes squad will be pulling a Greyhound Wagon for two miles out of Kendal on the old Sedbergh road.

Twelve players will take part, along with Kendal manager Chris Humphrey, and Chairman Jay Rossi.

The event will be done in support of charity work for Motor Neurone disease.

They will be joined by 60 other participants and all the money raised by the event will be divided toward Motor Neurone Disease, Northwest Air Ambulance, and MacMillan Cancer support.
