Terry Daniher played an exhibition football match at Albury Sportsground three years ago to raise money, but he will hit the Wodonga Golf Club on Friday, along with Lockhart product and former AFL player David Trotter.

"All fundraising for the day will go to the Pedal Cure 4 FightMND event, which will pass through this region next month," golf coordinator Bob Mathews said.

The seven-day cycling and fundraising event travelled from the Danihers' home town of Ungarie in Central West, NSW, to Melbourne in its first two years, but this time it's an 880km Tour de Riverina, taking in a host of areas, including Albury and Wagga.
