Last September, Stelling walked from Wembley to Wycombe's Adams Park stadium in September in memory of Bill Turnbull. Turnbull was an iconic BBC broadcaster and Wycombe Wanderers supporter who passed away from Prostate Cancer in August at the age of 66.
Speaking about his charity walks, Stelling told The Mail: "In the early days, I thought how hard can this be? I'd run marathons and I thought it couldn't be as hard as that but it is, if not harder, mainly because of the wear and tear from being on your feet for so long.
"But you're walking in a group and everybody has a reason for walking, living with someone or has known someone who has had prostate cancer.
"There's a unique camaraderie and it isn't all doom and gloom, it's sort of joyous."
