Radstock Town have decided to run 100 miles on February 6 to raise money for Portishead Town’s Nathan Trueman.
Trueman was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma - a rare, large and incredibly aggressive grade four tumour, in December.
And Posset have set up a GoFundMe page to raise £50,000 for his treatment, with rivals Radstock since deciding to show their support with all the players and staff running for Trueman.
“Anyone that’s come up against Nathan knows what a top player he is,” said Radstock manager Ryan Child on social media.
“As a club we wanted to show him our support and let him know we are all behind him.”
Portishead's first-team coach Dave Hewitt added: “It’s an absolutely amazing gesture by Radstock Town. It’s great that the football world can come together in these times for an opposing player.
“I have the upmost respect for Radstock Town - always a hard place to go and always a battle on the field and gentlemen of it.”
