Friends of two Midlands men who were shot dead during a holiday in Florida are due to finish a two-thousand mile relay of football stadiums today.

James Cooper from Warwickshire and James Kouzaris from Northampton were murdered just over a year ago.

Their friends set up the charity 'Always A Chance' in the men's memory, to help stop violent crime.

The two men were killed by Shawn Tyson, who's now serving two life sentences.

The 2,200 mile relay takes in 92 Football League grounds in England and Wales.

It's due to finish at Sixfields following a 117-mile bike ride from Manchester United's Old Trafford.

They hope to raise more than £25,000 by the time they finish.
