The mammoth feat will take Danny Brazenell around the likes of St James' Park in Newscastle, the Emirates Stadium in London, and Gillingham's very own Priestfield.

00:00 I'm here right outside Priestfield Stadium, home of the Gilles.
00:03 Now, the season hasn't quite started yet,
00:04 so I'm not here to catch a match.
00:06 Instead, I'm meeting the man who, in a few weeks' time,
00:08 is going to get quite used to the sight of these.
00:11 Danny Brazenhall is getting ready to cycle around all 92
00:14 Football League stadiums, and I'm meeting him today
00:17 for a bit of training.
00:20 An avid Manchester United fan and a player in Sevenoaks Town's
00:23 veteran squad, Danny loves his football,
00:26 but until a few years ago, hadn't really much experience
00:29 on a bike.
00:30 So preparing for a cycle around all 92 EFL club homes,
00:34 especially for a complete novice,
00:36 is surely going to be a whole different ballgame.
00:39 But Danny is not just dribbling around.
00:41 He says his mind and body are ready after undergoing
00:44 a ton of training.
00:46 He even cycled from Sevenoaks to meet me outside of Gillingham
00:49 FC, a measly two-hour cycle which
00:51 he says is becoming the norm.
00:53 Training is just like another day job.
00:55 So just put in what you can put in, really,
00:58 and just go for it.
00:59 One of my friends, he said to me--
01:00 because I was going to run London clubs,
01:02 but I had a knee injury, so I couldn't really run.
01:05 And I've decided-- he said to me,
01:07 you want to go and do all 92.
01:10 So I decided, well, 92 football clubs, I can't run it,
01:12 so I thought I'd cycle it.
01:14 I would never have said that I could do anything
01:16 like this before.
01:17 And obviously, the people that supported me,
01:20 it's just amazing.
01:21 So yeah, let's give it back to them
01:23 and go out there and raise as much money as we can, really.
01:26 The family man is taking on the mammoth feat
01:28 to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital
01:31 after it cared for his niece who suffered from cancer.
01:34 Already, thanks to the help of his friends, family,
01:37 and sponsors, Danny has raised almost 5,000 pounds
01:40 and aims to raise 10,000.
01:42 One of the many supporters who have been plastered
01:44 over the bike he's going to actually use
01:47 is the bike warehouse in Sevenoaks.
01:49 They supplied him with a discount towards the bike.
01:51 He's obviously trying to raise a lot of money for good cause.
01:54 He's got a lot of support behind him.
01:55 He's been promoting it well.
01:56 He's obviously very determined.
01:58 And so we wanted to help him along the way,
02:00 so I've supported him with doing the bike
02:02 at a really decent discount.
02:03 But lots of other bits as well.
02:04 I'm helping him with his routing and mapping.
02:06 I'm seeing him on Tuesday evening
02:07 as we go through the final bits of that.
02:09 So he's looking at regular days of over 100 miles.
02:12 And so having done a lot of cycling,
02:14 I know what that entails.
02:15 And it's not just that distance.
02:16 It's the repetition of that distance that makes it really
02:18 quite a challenge.
02:19 So he's got to be fit.
02:20 He's got to be prepared.
02:21 He's got to look after himself during the challenge
02:23 in order to get through it.
02:24 He is admirable, and I'm sure he's up to the task.
02:28 Danny will be starting his ride on Monday the 14th of August,
02:31 a 2,500-mile route which he says will take 23 days.
02:36 And whilst I didn't have a bike of my own,
02:38 Danny made sure to include me in his training nonetheless.
