Fourteen players from Oswaldtwistle St Mary’s football club are taking part to raise money for the club and members of Baxenden’s Slimming World group have entered in ‘big numbers’.
Organisers said the walk will also feature 16 teachers from St Andrew’s school in Oswaldtwistle and members of the East Lancs Scouts as they fundraise towards their ‘Icelandic Expedition’.
