Imogen Raising Money for The Care Workers Charity
Imogen's 7.1 million Keepie Uppie Challenge for Covid Heroes
Fundraising for The Care Workers Charity
Story
Hello my name is Imogen and I am 10 years old.
Thank you for thinking about supporting my fund raising challenge.
I was so inspired to see Captain Tom raising money for the NHS that I wanted to help too.
Because I love football I’ve decided to do one keepie uppie for every care worker in the country because they do an amazing job and are risking their lives to keep others safe. I am also doing one keepie uppie for each key worker in the country so that is 7.1 million keepie uppies I need to do.
I am going to do at least 200 keepie uppies each day, and it would be wonderful if you could donate some money for this challenge.
And if you donate some money, then please donate some keepie uppies too. As there are around 2 million care workers and 7.1 million key workers, I might need some help reaching that keepie uppie total. If you are able to donate then tell me how many you have done and I will put your score against the 7.1 million total.
Send me a picture or a video of your keepie uppies, and how many you’ve done to my
Twitter, Facebook or YouTube account. And don’t worry if you don’t have a football, use anything that can bounce on your foot. A toilet roll, balloon, socks, a soft toy, anything you
want will do.
Why the Care Workers Charity is important
Care workers are at the frontline of the coronavirus crisis, caring for society’s
most vulnerable and most susceptible to the disease. There are 1.5 million care workers in the UK, contributing to one of the largest workforces, and caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our society. For the UK's care workers, early starts, long hours and mentally draining work are part and parcel of the job. As a result, it's all too easy for illness, or other unforeseen circumstances, to push them beyond their financial limits.
I hope you can help.
Love Imogen x
