Paddy & Mike run the Chester Marathon

Aim

On Sun 5th October, we will both be running the Chester marathon.

Training for a marathon is hard 😅. Training for a marathon in the summer is even harder 🥵. We aim to put all that sweat 💦 and *bruised* toenails 🦶 towards this fantastic charitable cause 👨‍🦼⚽.

We are aiming to raise funds for Greater Manchester Powerchair Football Club, a small charity run by parent/carer volunteers for players with a range of physical disabilities, enabling them to participate in a competitive team sport. There are currently 3 teams competing in regional and national leagues, and there is a waiting list for new players hoping to join the club.

Any money raised will go towards day to day running costs and equipment for the club. A typical sports wheelchair costs between £5-10,000 and requires adaptions specific to player’s needs. Some of the players own their own chairs, but others use club owned chairs, which they need to share during training sessions as they are currently in short supply. 

Any donations will be greatly appreciated, whatever the amount.
