Manny Singh Kang is walking over 50 hours from Molineux stadium to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, aiming to arrive in time for the Wolves away game on Saturday.

Manny, 49, set off at 5am this morning (Thursday) and will be walking for two and a half days.

He has raised over £100,000 for Dementia UK, which will go towards helping those suffering from dementia as well as their family and friends.

Manny tells us how grateful he is for all the support: "Even though times are tough and people are struggling, people will still dig deep when it comes to helping people worse off. When we think of it, there are so many people who are much worse off than us, often through no fault of their own, so we can sit or we can help.

"I can't see suffering. If somebody is suffering that means that we should be doing something to help. To the day I breathe my last breathe, I can't see myself not helping other people," he says.

But Manny is no stranger to taking on a challenge. The father-of-three began fundraising in 2017 and has raised £186,865 for charities including Dementia UK, Wolves Foundation, Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Crisis homeless charity.

Mr Singh Kang became a popular feature at Wolves home games when he launched a fundraising initiative called Samosa Saturdays in 2018.

The samosas, which are given to anyone who donates, have even been bought by footballers Ruben Neves and Conor Coady.

Mr Singh Kang, his family, friends and other Wolves supporters have so far served 35,000 samosas at Wolves matches, with all the money raised going to charity.
