Story
Southport Veterans and Walking football enthusiasts, aged between 60 and 90, are embarking on a 24-hour, 5-a-side Football Marathon.
This event honours the memories of Alice, Bebe, and Elsie, who tragically passed away, and all those injured, during the Taylor Swift Dance and Yoga class in late July in Southport.
The goal is to raise as much money as possible to be equally divided between the following Schools, that were attended by Alice, Bebe and Elsie:- - Churchtown Primary School
- Marshside Primary School
- Farnborough Road Junior and Infants School The Schools can utilise the money in any way that they see fit, the choice is theirs.
Many players have personal connections to these schools, with children or grandchildren who are, or were pupils, and some even attended these schools themselves.
We believe that directing sponsorship directly to these Schools will greatly benefit the local children and allow us, at the other end of the age spectrum, to contribute back to our cherished community.
Southport FC, Everton FC and Liverpool FC have agreed to support our cause, and we urge the local community to help us reach our financial goal.
The event will commence at Dunes Leisure Centre in Southport on the five-a-side pitches at 10:00 am on 18 September 2024.

Excellent idea. Watch out for Mark Lawford's crunching tackles - he's a Millwall fan. Hope it all goes well.
