Earlier this morning, head coach Matt Maynard set off on a 230-mile walk through Wales wearing wellington boots.
Maynard is attempting to raise £20,000 in memory of his son Tom, who passed away in June 2012.
The walk will be the final major fundraising challenge undertaken for the Tom Maynard Trust with Maynard expecting to take 12 days to finish the challenge, which will include climbing the Welsh three peaks Pen y Fan, Snowdon and Cadair Idris.
The trust was set up nine years ago following the death of Tom and has raised almost £500,000 in that time supporting numerous individuals and organisations.
"I will set out from Cardiff, where Tom was born, and hopefully - legs intact - I arrive in Colwyn Bay, where he made his first senior Glamorgan appearance, a couple of weeks later," said Maynard.
"I am taking on this challenge to raise funds to build a children's cricket net area at the home of Glamorgan Cricket, at Sophia Gardens, in Tom's name as a legacy.
"When Tom was young and his mum brought him down to Sophia Gardens, he'd spend all day playing cricket on the field at the top of the ground.
"The old landscape of the stadium has long since changed and currently there are no facilities for children to play and practice their cricket skills safely, nor can they play their impromptu games on the outfield during lunch and tea intervals as they used to be able to.
"I want to change that and by raising my target of £20,000 we hope to create a 'net' area for children to have some fun, bowl some balls and whack it as our Tom loved to do as a child, as part of a wider commitment to develop new family facilities."
