Story

 

Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As many of you know, myself and a few friends are heading to Malawi from September 28 to Oct 14, we will be distributing footballs and netballs through the charity The Great Football Giveaway. Our goal will be to distribute two thousand footballs over this period, aiming to get off the beaten track and hit schools and orphanages in the remotest part of Malawi. I am a true believer that every child needs sport in their lives, for most of us, our earliest memories of sport probably involves a football, from a very early age my dad used to take four kids under the age of six to Croke Park (the Stadium in Dublin where Gaelic football is played) to watch Gaelic Football. Before donating, take a few minutes to watch a video on the website, http://www.thegreatfootballgiveaway.org.uk/photosfilms.htm. By supporting this charity you will be putting a smile on a childs face, encouraging them to learn the art of teamwork and ultimately in many cases, encouraging them to attend school in order to get access to the footballs, thus encouraging education. 100% donations made through this page will go towards purchasing those footballs, netballs and pumps.
