Hello friends, family, and work colleagues!
Wigton Moor JFC is a community-based junior football club based in North Leeds. The club runs girls' teams at several age groups, and my daughter Megan plays for the u13 girls.
The u13s girls have been very successful in the past few years, winning the league and cup double for the past 3 years. The team is now going on its first-ever European trip to Holland, in late May 2015, to enter a European junior girls football tournament and to hopefully replicate our domestic success on the European stage!
We are all fundraising hard to raise funds for the trip, which is being funded entirely by the team. Recent fundraising activities include a race night, bingo night, supermarket bag packing and various raffles, and we are well on the way to making a big dent in the overall total trip cost of approx £6,000. My personal goal, and the aim of this particular appeal, is to run the Leeds half marathon on 10 May 2015, and hopefully raise £500 towards the total. I did some running many years ago at school, and play 5-a-side football and touch rugby which keeps me in reasonable shape for my age, but have never run a half marathon before and so am very much looking forward to the challenge. I am hoping to break the 2 hour barrier and will let you know how I get on!
If you are feel able to sponsor me, that would be fantastic. On behalf of Megan and all her Wigton teammates, a very big THANK YOU to all of you who donate!
The intrepid Holland squad comprises the following players: Abbie Dunwell, Abby Crabtree, Anoushka Dresser, Cerys Bevan, Ella Maunder, Holly Orr, Kennedy Caesar, Megan Hughes, Rachel Blythe, Sasha Raw, Shani Epstein-Graves, and Teegan Elson - all supported by manager Sherman, assistant manager Alvin, and various Mums and Dads! GO WIGTON!
All the best
Sam Hughes
