Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for me and my AFC Liverpool under 18s team.
I setup this page for 3 reasons:
1) Raise awareness of MND (Motor Neurone Disease).
2) Raise as much money as possible to help towards finding a cure for this terrible condition
3) Inspiration: I have been totally inspired in particular by a few people suffering from MND and these people in particular have taken my breath away. I have no doubt that these people are no different to all MND suffers but thier stories I have been lucky enough to follow.
Stephen Darby (ex pro Liverpool FC footballer), close friend Chris Rimmer (ex British Forces Veteran), Rob Burrow (ex pro Leeds Rhinos Rugby player), Burrow7 foundation, DarbyRimmerFoundation, MNDAssociation and DoddieAid DoddieGump to name a few.
All these fantastic foundations are all trying their best to raise runds and raise awareness to fight this terrible disease and i want to do my bit.
THE CHALLENGE ......... I am currently manager of AFC Liverpool under 18s with 22 lads under my wing.
I have chosen MND association as my chosen overall charity as it covers all the amazing foundations i have mentioned above.
MND Association have 7 in 7 challenge, which essentially is a pair of numbers to pick whatever you want to do with them.
So i have chosen for 7 months to run 77 miles each month.
February month all my 22 boys are on board also in there own leaderboard doing this also, running seperately of course in their own time abiding to covid rules.
My ultimate goal also is (when covid allows) in the summer hopefully to climb Ben Nevis with all my lads and everyone and anyone from the associations mentioned. Please get in touch with me.
I already have on board Ex Profession and very close friend of Stephen Darby, Ste Warnock on board to join me and the lads and i would absolutely love to have anyone and everyone from DoddieAid, MND Association, DarbyRimmer Foundation, Burrow7 foundation all on board, all family and friends. Everyone. Make it massive. Get ITV on board. Raise thousands of pounds and equally as important raise awareness.
Please help share my just giving page. Please support me and my lads in our running and mainly in contributing to MNDAssociation. Making the difference.
I could not be more prouder of my boys and all the amazing foundations out there just trying so hard to make a differnece.
Please share my story, please share everywhere on all social media platforms.
And lets get running
