Story

Oxford University Association Football Club are aiming to run 1,507 km, the equivalent of Oxford to Madrid for the 2.6 Challenge.

We are running 1,507 km, which is the equivalent of the distance from Iffley Road Stadium to the Bernabeu Madrid, the original destination for the women's OUAFC tour. We are raising money for KEEN Oxford, which creates inclusive projects, and provides amazing opportunities to kids with learning disabilities, not to mention both the reprieve and pride that these sessions offer to their parents. They are 'financed entirely by fundraising, donations and grants', and have had to cancel all sessions until further notice in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Anything we can give them would go such a long way in bringing footy back to these kids once the pandemic is over. OUAFC thanks you for your support in raising money for KEEN!
