Four British football fans have walked 1,966km, which is more than 1,200 miles, to the World Cup in Brazil, to raise money for a charity which is supporting people in North East Brazil hit by drought. Adam Burns, David Bewick, Ben Olsen and Pete Johnston walked from Mendoza in Argentina, to Porto Alegre, Brazil, where FIFA gave them permission to walk on the pitch of Estádio Beira-Rio. The friends were joined in Uruguay by a stray dog which they named Stinky Jefferson. “We’ve been followed a lot on our journey by stray dogs, and we thought it was just another stray dog, but then after 30km, and we pitched our tent and then woke up the next morning, and he was still there, we thought he was a little different, and yes he completed the whole entire journey", Adam said. This was originally broadcast on Up All Night on Thursday 12th June 2014
