, Chief Executive “As partner to Sheffield Wednesday and The Children’s Hospital, Sheffield being the County FA`s elected charity it is a fantastic opportunity to build our relationship with both organisations and raise some money for the charity.
I have always fancied doing a zip slide challenge, so I am sure I will really enjoy the experience and a number of the staff here at Sheffield & Hallamshire FA are certainly looking forward to seeing me fly across the pitch at Hillsborough!
Simon Athey, Senior Fundraiser at The Children’s Hospital, said “We are delighted that James has decided to join Alan, Lee and David for the zip slide challenge. Sheffield & Hallamshire FA have supported us for a number of years and we hope that by James getting involved, this will then encourage individuals involved with the grassroots football community to sign up too.”
