We first broached the subject of doing this charity event when Andy and Jason were talking about how Keith (Andy, Paul & Seans Dad, Jasons Uncle) had tried to do the same thing about 20 plus years ago and had been unable to complete it due to a car accident. At first we just thought it might be nice to have a go ourselves, but it became a more serious notion after talking it over with Paul and Sean.

At the time Andy’s wife was dealing with her second bout of cancer, our Uncle had been diagnosed and was receiving treatment for Cancer, our cousin was diagnosed with Cancer and our Auntie was recovering from Cancer.

This might seem at first to set us apart as a family particularly struck with bad fortune, but unfortunately we realised that we were not exceptional.  There are families the world over suffering with the curse of this affliction in all its forms and it seemed that we might be in a position to do something to help.

Whilst tragic, our family members who struggle with Cancer are an inspiration to us and are the fuel that fires our determination to make a difference however small, in the lives of all cancer sufferers.

Through this charity drive to all 92 football league clubs we aim, through collection, sponsorship, auction, raffle and kind donation to raise as much money as possible.

All the money raised is to be donated to Cancer Research UK and Pendleside Hospice, both hugely important organisations that through selfless dedication devote themselves to easing the pain and suffering of Cancer Victims.

We understand that in this time of economic instability everyone is struggling to make ends meet, but we ask that you dig deep to help us to raise as much money as possible in any way you can.  

We thank you in advance for all your help, support, kind wishes and donations.

 

Andy, Jason, Paul & Sean – The Driving for Hope Team.
