Leeds United supporter Barry Lakin has raised an incredible £2,238.60 for the Leeds United Foundation’s Corner Flag Café after completing a 50-mile fundraising walk around the city.

Barry visited 24 murals across Leeds, recording 113,648 steps alongside his friend Rob, club representatives and Foundation staff.

The challenge saw him surpass his original 48-mile target, with a special surprise along the way as club legend Lucas Radebe met Barry at his mural in Chapel Allerton and joined him for part of the walk.

All funds raised will support the Corner Flag Café and its work with people living with dementia, as well as helping fund the group’s annual Christmas dinner.

The cause is particularly close to Barry’s heart, following the loss of his mother to dementia in 2024. Having previously benefited from the Foundation’s programmes, he was inspired to give back and has now raised more than £6,000 across three fundraising walks.

Speaking afterwards, Barry said: "I have experienced caring for my mum, so I fully understand what families affected by dementia are going through, and I will continue to fundraise for the café each year.

"I cannot thank the Leeds United Foundation enough for the support they gave me after COVID, helping me through some difficult times. Thank you to everyone who has donated and supported my fundraising walks."

Everyone at Leeds United would like to congratulate Barry on another remarkable achievement and thank him for his continued generosity and support.
