The daughter of Shrewsbury Town legend Chic Bates is preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the Dementia UK charity.

He was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer’s in 2013 and Llarni Bates said she had witnessed her father being "being avoided, discriminated and even made fun of because of his illness".

Bates made nearly 300 appearances for Shrewsbury Town and scored 64 goals before becoming their manager.

He also had a spell in charge of Stoke City.

Llarni flies out to Tanzania to attempt the climb later this month and aims to raise £4,000 for the charity.
