The Southampton Football Club veteran is rallying support for his latest fundraiser.
Former footballer and passionate fundraiser Franny Benali is rallying support to conquer the 10 Lake District summits and raise money for charity.
The Southampton Football Club legend has raised close to £90,000 for Saints Foundation over the past three years with his Benali on Tour treks.
His latest challenge, a three-day, 14.5-mile (23.4km) circular trek in the north west of England, will take place from 30 April until 2 May.
People will once again be able to join Benali on the tour which will finish with fans watching Saints' final away fixture of the 2025/26 season against Preston North End.
The registration fee for those wanting to join Benali is £200, which covers accommodation, meals and the match ticket. Organisers have also asked for a minimum fundraising target of £750.
Walkers will tackle England's tallest peak, Scafell Pike, during the challenge.
Benali said: "I am delighted to be embarking on another Benali on Tour in support of Saints Foundation, and this one is our biggest challenge yet.
"Every year, the team creates a brilliant atmosphere among fundraisers with a growing group that return year on year.
"I can't wait to catch up with some old faces, meet some new people, and raise money to help people in our city reach their full potential."
The first Benali on Tour in 2023 was along the South Downs Way, while in 2024 fundraisers climbed the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
Last year the group covered a 36 mile (58km) round trip beginning and ending at St Mary's Stadium, via the Isle of Wight Coastal Trail.
