ORIGINAL POST:
The Eamonn Fallon Goalkeeper Charity are challenging you to complete 10km in any way - walking, running, dancing, biking, you choose! You don't have to do this all at once, it can be over a period of several days, but if you feel like you're up to the challenge, go for that 10K!
Once you complete your 10K, donate £10 to The Eamonn Fallon Goalkeeper Charity. With no extra cost to you, add Gift Aid to your donation which allows us to claim back an extra 25p with every £1 donated. Last but not least, challenge 5 of your friends to take up the challenge too!
To make things fun, Trustees of the Charity will tally up all the kilometres covered by everyone taking part to see if we can 'travel' from Coventry, England to Sydney, Australia. This is approximately 17,013km. For this challenge, you only need to complete 10km. However, you can help us to travel the whole distance by completing more!
Our Australian friends are going to do the same, but travel from Sydney to Coventry. Is it a challenge without some good competition? So take part and help us win!!
If you are taking part, upload your own photo/video on to Facebook or Instagram and tag the friends that you will challenge. Use the hashtag #10KToSydney and tag us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/The-Eamonn-Fallon-Goalkeeper-Charity-1648249075209494) or Instagram (@eamonnfallongoalkeepercharity) to make sure we can see your post!
This is all in memory of Eamonn Fallon - in honour of his 35th birthday. Eamonn was born in Coventry and was working in Sydney when he passed away.
With your support and donations, they will go to aiding numerous clubs and young individuals (aged 2-16) across England, through sport.
So why not get fit this year and support a local charity?
