The grandson of an England and Liverpool goalkeeper is hoping to raise awareness of prostate cancer by running the equivalent of a marathon over the course of the month.
Jack Clemence is hoping to honour his grandfather Ray Clemence by taking part in the Run the Month challenge throughout January.
Ray Clemence, who also played for Spurs and Scunthorpe, died in 2020, aged 72, after living with prostate cancer for 15 years.
His grandson said: "Hopefully, he's looking down on me [feeling] proud."
The 18-year-old from Hertfordshire, who is undertaking a degree apprenticeship with Amazon, will run at least 26.
