My son, myself, and several parents/players from the brand new Dronfield FC u14s will be walking twice around Carsington Water (Derbyshire) on Saturday the 29th of June 2024. (Approximately 16 Miles).
We are raising money for our new Dronfield FC u14 Football team who play in the SDJSL on Sundays, and we need sponsorships for both home and away kits, at our previous club we raised funds to have Neurocare's logo on one of our team shirts 3 years ago! So we now are hoping to do similar.
Unfortunately, Neurocare has just been taken over by another charity, so to keep it local to Chesterfield we decided to look for another Charity/Organisation that does fantastic work for the community and surrounding areas!
We are glad to announce the fantastic Ashgate Hospice will be the new shirt logo for the next 2 seasons! most people will have either known of or heard of someone who has been helped by them! The work and care they provide is phenomenal!
To say thank you to them and give them any publicity that they need to keep providing the care services that they provide and also to keep raising funds so they can keep giving their services free of charge! They will be a more than deserving shirt sponsor!
We'd also like to raise money to buy some other bits the team will need moving forward, ie Winter Coats, Training Kits & Coaching Kits, and Materials.
I hope you can help us out! We certainly understand times are hard and appreciate donations be they little or large.
Players/Parents Currently Confirmed to be participating in either the full walk 24.4km or half 12.2km.
