Walking 4 Hope

Can’t see this mentioned on here, if it is please feel free to link it in Mods..

John Bell started his walk from Field Mill to Wrexham ahead of Fridays game raising money for Walking 4 Hope, a charity he set up following the loss of his son.

He’s already smashed his fundraising total as the Wrexham owners have chucked £15,000 in.

Say what you like about the Disney FC fairytale but for me the owners do just get it, I’ve seen this no end of times now they’ve contributed big funds to local charities both close to Wrexham and further afield.

That is sensational and one reason why I don't mind if they come up with us. The owners are impossible not to like.

Fair play and good luck to John, top man, great effort.

Quality. Fair play to them.

I'm a fan of Ryan Reynolds. Comes from humble beginnings. His father, who had Parkinson's. died and he was a Canadian Mounted policeman and worked in food wholesale. His mother worked retail. His grandfather was a farmer.

Hard to dislike the owners, I agree. & Well done to John Bell.

Interesting though I remember logging on to Red Passion their supporter forum 11 years ago in 2013 just after we got promoted. ( beating them last game of the season )

We got relegated from the league with them in 2008.

Almost all of their fans on there at the time in 2013 (they were supporter trust owned) claimed we had bought the league and it wasn't a path they would ever go down. Many said they would rather stay non league.

I guess another 10 years down there changes mentalities. Not many would swap Ryan Reynolds now.

This is a brilliant effort by John and his team. A fantastic gesture from the Wrexham owners, who you can’t help but like. John has now more than doubled his £10,000 target. Good luck with the final leg of the journey tomorrow.

An absolutely incredible effort.
