Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Most of you will know that there's quite a bit less of me than in the past. And I'm fitter. Combining my love of football and for the Arsenal, I've signed up (with two of my daughters, Charlotte and Helena) for a four-day trek from 22nd to 27th March 2021, from the Dead Sea to Petra, to raise funds for the Arsenal Foundation.

The Arsenal Foundation uses the power of football and the Arsenal name to inspire and support young people in north London and across the globe. In partnership with Save the Children, they have co-developed the ground-breaking Coaching for Life programme, which utilises football to improve the mental wellbeing of children affected by conflict and violence.

This is a big deal for me. I've never asked for sponsorship before and this trek is way out of my comfort zone.

Many, many thanks for your support.

Charles

P.S. We had originally planned to do this in March 2020 but the Arsenal Foundation were forced to postpone the challenge to 22nd - 27th March 2021 due to the escalation of COVID-19.
