Miles for Collo.

    Lee Collins

    Around 30 Yeovil Town supporters and staff will be cycling 500 miles this week raising funds for the mental health charity Somerset MIND, in memory of Yeovil Town’s former Captain Lee Collins.

    The group set off from Huish Park, on Sunday, at midday and are now pedalling 80-miles every day visiting Lee Collins’s previous clubs – Northampton Town, Mansfield Town, Port Vale, Wolverhampton Wanders, Forest Green Rovers – returning to Huish Park for Yeovil Town’s final home game of the season against Boreham Wood this coming Saturday.


    With every mile travelled, the riders will be promoting awareness of mental health, in the hope of raising £50,000 for Mind in Somerset -
