An avid Crewe Alex fan and father-of-two is stepping out for charity this November, raising cash for Alzheimers Research UK. 

Alastair Lawrence has chosen the local derby against Port Vale on Monday 25 November to walk the 14 miles between both stadiums. 

The facilities supervisor with Roadchef at Sandbach Services on the M6, is walking the perimeter of the Crewe's Mornflake Stadium before heading to Vale Park.

Lawrence plans to walk along as much of the canal system as he can to reach his destination in Burslem by 5pm or before.

The Crewe fan has set up a JustGiving page here with donations flooding in. 

Alastair told Nub News: "I have chosen it as it's the local derby between the two clubs and I'll be watching Crewe play Port Vale. 

"I will be walking from Crewe Alex to the Port Vale stadium in time for the 8pm kick-off. it's about a seven-hour walk." 

Alastair has set a £200 target for the walk but hopes he can raise even more money for Alzheimers Research UK (ARUK).  

He said: "We had a vote about which charity to choose and this one came top. I will be wearing my Alzheimers T-shirt.

"My wife will be cheering me on from home, as will my children who are aged three and eight.

"I am not a fitness person but I am looking forward to this. 

"One of my roles at work is charity work and coming up with ways of raising money for our partners ARUK."
