A TEAM of intrepid Doncaster Rovers fans are all set to go to great heights for charity.
For a determined band of supporters and friends are preparing to scale Yorkshire's fearsome Three Peaks this summer - and what's more, they will be undertaking the challenge dressed in the famed red and white hoops.

The gruelling challenge will see the rambling Rovers trek a blister-inducing 23.5 miles and climbing a total of 2,153 metres in just 12 hours by taking on Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and finishing with the unforgiving Inglebrough in the Yorkshire Pennines.
And the team will be taking on the mammoth task in memory of team member Carl Harris' dad Ted who died in 2006 after a six month battle against stomach cancer.

The idea for the charity fund-raising trek came to fruition after fans began discussing the idea on social networking site Facebook - and quickly snowballed with a team of Rovers diehards signing up for the June 26 walk.

Making up the team along with Carl are fellow Rovers followers Darren Burke, Tracy Crowe, Phil Ellis, Mike Follows and Gary Long.
The team will be setting out from Horton-in-Ribblesdale at 8am for the marathon hike - hoping to finish the Three Peaks in under 12 hours. And each team member will be proudly wearing their replica Rovers shirt en route - showing off their support for Yorkshire's number one club.

Said Carl: "During his illness both my dad and our family found getting help and advice very difficult and the only organisation that we found were there, were the Macmillan cancer support team. I have been searching for an event I could take part in and complete in memory of my dad and where I can raise some money to support this wonderful organisation and hopefully give another sufferer or family a chance to recieve support that I know helped our family through a tough time."
A spokesman for Macmillan said: "The walk itself takes in some of the Yorkshire Dales’ finest scenery and will be a tremendous challenge for all who take part. We hope that walkers will collect sponsorship from friends, family and colleagues to help Macmillan improve the lives of people affected by cancer."
