Coaching for Life, our Arsenal and Save the Children project in Jordan (Zaatari Refugee Camp) and Indonesia, is supporting hundreds of children through football coaching which helps them with their mental and physical health. It's an amazing project. The pandemic has hit our fundraising hard and we really need more funds to keep the kids in these projects. I know they work because I have spoken to the kids and they LOVE being a part of our Arsenal football projects and global Arsenal family. Their lives are changed by our projects and their hopes for a better future are nurtured and realized. I would love your support! I will be walking, walking, walking as far as I can in March. I'm afraid my back can't cope with running but I will push myself as hard as I can on distance. Thank you so much for any pennies you can help with or just a simple message of encouragement! XXX

Two teams of 23 Arsenal FC staff, led by former Arsenal captain, legend and current Academy manager Per Mertesacker will be working together to stay active and complete 6720 miles in March, the distance separating the host cities in the 2021 Euros. Many of the team will be running, walking or cycling their miles, but HIIT workouts, yoga and even washing the car can be converted into the all important miles.As well as the obvious health benefits, the teams will be working hard to raise funds for The Arsenal Foundation, supporting projects both internationally, in Jordan and Indonesia, as well as our work closer to home! Arsenal has always understood the power it has to bring people together and make a difference in the community. This has been more apparent than ever during the last year.Wherever we are in the world, Arsenal has the power to connect communities and make a positive impact on the lives of the young people that need us.Thank you for your support.
