Exhausted Luke runs 100km in a day to raise money for pitch


The route taken by Luke Martino, who is manager of the Under 13s Diamonds team for Asfordby Amateurs, Ladies Girls and Inclusive FC, took him deep into Rutland, over the Charnwood district border and across the Vale of Belvoir.
He started out at 6am on Saturday and finished, absolutely exhausted, just before 9pm, with players and club officials giving his refreshments and support at various pit stops en route.
