Ahead of tomorrows highly anticipated game, i thought i would just give this one final plug.
A group of fans from both clubs will be walking 10 miles from Sidcup station to the Den in memory of both Rob Knox and Jimmy Mizen.
We have so far raised over £800 (over £1,000 with gift aid) for the CACT and ForJimmy Charities and are continuing to raise money over the next couple of days both online at uk.virginmoneygiving.com/togetherforten and through collection buckets on route during the walk.
If anyone wants to join in the walk please contact me. You dont have to do the whole walk if you are not up to but can join in from anywhere along the route which can be viewed here
https://www.plotaroute.com/route/965918There has been quite alot of coverage over the last couple of days and have some people joining the walk who will also cover the story in various places. I was on Charlton Live last night speaking to Louis Mendez so please feel free to have a listen to the podcast to see why we are doing this.
Thanks again for everyone who has supported us and please feel free to message me for any information on the walk. Hopefully i will see some of you tomorrow at 9am at sidcup station.
Cheers
Craig

Jimmy is somebody who I knew very well, he is sorely missed.
I already have pre-match plans so will not be able to attend the walk, but will certainly be making a generous contribution to any charity boxes/buckets that I see.
Great cause and seems like Millwall are really getting behind it too, which is great to see.
RIP both Jimmy and Rob.
Sorry i though the one i had written would link but obviously not. Thanks for pointing this out.

The Together for Ten walk went great. Had alot of support in the build up and the donations total with cash to be added and gift aid totals just over £2800. A fantastic amount.which will be split between the two charities.
We are already in talks to do another walk for the reverse fixture and hope a few more people will join the walk! I know that most of those who walked with us on Saturday are keen to do the next walk and hopefully we will raise even more!
Thank you to everyone for the support we all appreciate it.
Cheers again
Craig
and others
Had a good chat with a few of the others, none more so than Steve, the Millwall fan standing behind me and my daughter on the right of the photo. He has lost 30 kilos in the last few months (four and a half stone!!). He wants to lose another twenty more so he will be fit enough to tackle Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021. Inspirational what people can do to turn their lives around, but not as inspirational as what Craig and Danny have started. This walk deserves a lot more support for the return fixture.
It was also humbling to have a chat with Barry Mizen when we got to the Den. An absolutely lovely fella without a trace of bitterness about what happened to Jimmy.
Did more people join in on the way?
