The women’s team, development group and youth sides from under-10s to under-16s are between them travelling the distance from Compton, Wolverhampton to Compton, California.

All money raised from the 5,331-mile challenge will go to Compton Care.

Steve Cullis, player development manager at Wolves Foundation, said: “As a club, we have a great relationship with Compton Care. During these unprecedented times, they need more support than ever before to help them continue to provide their first-class palliative care.

“The players themselves have expressed a direct interest in being involved in fundraising activities due to family members previously using their services or have family that will imminently be using the services.”

The distance will be achieved via running, cycling, rowing or walking, with players using Strava or Apple devices to log their activity – for an official to keep a running total.
