The seven-year-old has taken on the year-long challenge in honour of his late uncle Stephen Realf, a trainee RAF pilot and football fan from Rugby, who lost his life a decade to Brain Tumour Research, this form of cancer kills more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. All proceeds from Zac's challenge will go to Brain Tumour Research, whose vision is to find a cure for all types of brain he approaches the end of his tour, mum Maria said they are "determined to keep raising awareness and support the brain tumour community and help keep more families together".She said the challenge felt like a "fitting tribute" to Stephen and a brilliant way for Zac to raise money for a charity close to the family's heart. "He [Zac] loves football, a huge passion he shares with the uncle he never got to meet," she added.A visit to the home ground of Tottenham Hotspur, who Stephen supported, has been among the most poignant visits so and a friend have taken part in other challenges not possible for Zac due to his age, including an abseil of the Tottenham Hotspur Stephen's death the family have been campaigning for greater funding into brain tumour 2015, Maria and her family started a petition which - after gaining over 120,000 signatures - prompted a Westminster Hall debate and ultimately led to the formation of a working group on brain tumours chaired by Prof Chris Allsebrook, community development manager at Brain Tumour Research, said: "It's incredibly heart-warming to see how excited Zac is to be part of the family's year-long fundraiser.

Motherwell keeper wants to keep fans happy with cup progress
Calum Ward is looking to put a smile on supporters' faces Calum Ward hopes Motherwell can put a smile on fans' faces by knocking St Johnstone out of the Premier Sports Cup. Motherwell will head to McDiarmid Park in Perth as favourites in the last-16 clash, but Ward is conscious that they haven't won a league game yet. However, the English keeper is confident that the Steelmen will progress in the competition, kick-starting their campaign. He said: 'St Johnstone have started the season really strongly, six points out of six. 'They'll probably do really well in that league. We know it's going to be a tough place, but we're confident in ourselves that we can go and play the football we do and try and beat them next week. 'You really want to do really well in the Cups. It's another good chance to keep the fans happy. Going on a cup run is really important for the club and we'll try and do our best next week.' Ward, 24, was called into action to save from Alex Gogic as Motherwell battled out a 0-0 draw with St Mirren in Paisley on Saturday, while at the other end, Shamal George saved smartly from Ibrahim Said and Callum Slattery. The Essex-born shot-stopper said: 'Possibly it was a fair result, but I feel like we could have taken all three. 'We played some really good stuff in the first half and some really good stuff in the second. 'We just lacked that cutting edge at the end. We always knew it was going to be tough coming here. We said at half-time, if we can't get the goal and get the win, we'll take the point.' On his second-half save, Ward said: 'I had to judge that he's going to win that ball, and just drop off and then flicked it on and just did my job. It had to be a strong hand because I had to get it over the bar. I was happy with it. 'We knew that they put crosses in the box, corners, and they caused us problems in the first half and second, and then that ball was coming, it was windy, it was tough.' Having drawn 1-1 at home to Rangers Motherwell have two points so far, but Ward is content with that, from difficult games. He said: 'It's better than two losses, for sure. We obviously want to win games like everyone, but if we can't get the three points, we'll take the draw, especially at a place like this. 'Obviously we were confident in ourselves last week going into the game, but we obviously take the point. 'We could have won the game easily at the end. And chances we had, we just lacked that little bit of finishing touch. 'And if we had that, we would have clearly had six points out of six, but we'll take the two.' Ward came through the youth set-up at AFC Bournemouth and was sent out on loan for a few spells before landing permanently at HIFK in Finland, and from there he moved to AC Oulu, and Motherwell. Having signed a contract extension at the start of this season, Ward is happy in Lanarkshire. He said: 'I got the chance to start the season, play a few pre-season games to get used to how the manager wants me to play and the team to play. 'So I'm happy with how we've played so far, yeah. 'It wasn't the greatest start getting lobbed in the Premier Sports Cup [against Clyde], but then we just worked on it. We played well in the game. We just implemented that style of play that we want to do. 'It has been good. I've enjoyed taking my chance and just trying to continue to do that. 'In the first half and a lot of the game last week, it looks really good when it works. Obviously, we're going to make mistakes but the manager said that to us and we're getting that on board. 'We know that mistakes will happen, but we'll keep doing the right things and keep being brave. When it is successful, it looks really good.'

Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday: Fan protests planned as crisis club starts Championship campaign
The word 'crisis' is probably bandied about too often in sports journalism but when it comes to the current plight of Sheffield Wednesday there is no more apt a term. Under the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri, this great Yorkshire institution have slipped into financial and organisational chaos over last five years, and arrive at the start of the season amid a backdrop of unpaid wages, a partly-closed stadium, a fully-closed training ground, a stand-in manager and fan dismay that is fast turning into fury. Today's visit to Leicester City – themselves no strangers to financial strife but not on the same scale as Wednesday are experiencing – for the first day of Championship seems bound to be overshadowed by supporter protests. The 3,000+ visiting supporters have vowed not to take their seats at the King Power Stadium until five minutes after kick-off and there are plans to fly a plane over the ground carrying a message to Chansiri that will no doubt be along the lines of 'do one'. Thai Chansiri and the club have been charged for not paying players, which has led to an exodus of first-team players as they have become free to terminate their contracts, although captain Barry Bannan has stayed on and has attempted to rally the players while also supporting the non-football staff who have not been paid. As Telegraph Sport's Mike McGrath wrote in his special report on the plight of Wednesday this week, the club is so broke they could not even afford sock tape during pre-season. Coach Henrik Pedersen has a squad of just 15 players, Wednesday are under a transfer embargo and the supporters' group has issued a warning about the impact the club's crisis is having on the mental health of its fan base. Today is a rare case of the action on the pitch arguably being less important than that off it, but we will keep you up to date on both.
