Liverpool Academy stars scale Snowdon for Stephen Darby Foundation

The fundraising effort was on behalf of the Stephen Darby Foundation which aims to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and support the families of sufferers.

Darby is a former graduate of the LFC Academy who was forced to retire from a successful football career after being diagnosed with MND last year.

He won FA Youth Cups at Liverpool in 2006 and 2007 and Liverpool’s triumph in the competition this year was dedicated to him.

The Liverpool group made their way up Snowdon and back down in less than five hours on Friday.
