Participants: 100 Arsenal fans from around the world

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

From 22nd to 27th of March, I am going to trek through the spectacular desert of Jordan to demonstrate support for Arsenal and The Arsenal Foundation. 

The Arsenal Foundation uses the power of football and the Arsenal name to inspire and support young people in north London and across the globe. In partnership with Save the Children, they have co-developed the ground-breaking Coaching for Life programme which utilises football to improve the mental wellbeing of children affected by conflict and violence. 

I am going to join Arsenal Legends David Seaman and Per Mertesacker, and 100 fellow fans to demonstrate my support for Arsenal and The Arsenal Foundation. I will push myself out of my comfort zone and raise as much as possible to empower children across the globe through Coaching for Life. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your support!

UPDATE: Due to the escalation of COVID-19, The Arsenal Foundation were forced to postpone the challenge to 22-27 March 2021. The silver lining is that we now have an additional 12 months to raise funds to support the mental well-being of children around the world (and an additional 12 months of training!).
