Leicester City football stars of the future are gearing up for a 24-hour festive cycling relay for charity.

Lads in the LCFC Academy's under-18 squad will attempt to ride continuously on training machines at locations across the city.

They will be raising funds and awareness for this year's LCFC Foxes Foundation charity drive.

The boys will work in teams to cycle round the clock, starting at 9am tomorrow.

The challenge begins at BBC Radio Leicester's studios, in St Nicholas Place, before moving to Beaumont Shopping Centre, Beaumont Leys and ending with the "night shift" at the club's Belvoir Drive Training ground.

Academy director Jon Rudkin said: "Our annual charity challenge is a great way of educating the players in the club's wider off-pitch commitments."

The Foundation is helping a range of charities including the Lord Mayor of Leicester's Stroke Appeal and the Silver Star Diabetes Appeal. Fans can get involved at Beaumont Shopping Centre between 11am and 10pm, or by taking a picture of themselves donating and tweeting it to @OfficialFOXES with the hashtag #LCFCAcademyRide24.

Donations will be collected throughout the Academy's 24-hour challenge.

Supporters can Text LCFC33 followed by the donation amount to 70070.
