Me and my dad are going to run 3 km, cycle 6km and swim the last 1 km to raise as much money as I can for charity 

 I first started playing for Dosthill Colts FC aged 7 (3 years ago) I was an outfield player but when Emi signed for Villa just watching him made me want to become a keeper , he is the best in the world.  He is my biggest idol and plays for my home team Aston Villa. 

I’ve been thinking of doing something to raise money for a charity for a while and my dad told me about Emi’s 10k challenge so I asked him to email villa so I could take part and now I’m doing it for real. 

I want to raise some money for people that need it because not everyone is as fortunate as me. I really want to help people that need it, not everyone can afford to eat every day and get other stuff they need so I’d like to raise some money for them so I can help them but also I need your help so please can you donate what you can afford and I will do my best and make you all proud of me. 

Thanks for your support
