Dear Friends  

Manchester United Foundation Sahara Challenge

November 13th-20th 2009

In Support of Manchester United Foundation Charities

 

So I've now made it back from the Sahara desert in one piece! What an amazing experience!! It was very tough , but one of the greatest weeks of my life. We had an amazing group of people and we all kept each going during the hard days and, most impotantly I never stopped laughing for a week!!

We were lucky enough to be joined by Manchester United legends - Denis Irwin and Andy Ritchie - during our week-long trek which raised money for the Manchester United Foundation (see bottom of this section for where your donation will go). 

A huge, huge thank you to everyone who donated... I really appreciate your support and the money will be going towards some really great causes.
 

Manchester United Foundation was formed to celebrate 50 years of the Club playing in Europe.  It aims to use the passion for Manchester United to educate, motivate and inspire young people to build a better life for themselves and improve the communities they live in.  The Foundation delivers football coaching, skills training, personal development and life changing experiences, providing young people with opportunities to change their lives for the better.  Through football, they encourage young people to develop as players and more importantly as people. 

 

If you would like to help me raise the above target and make a positive contribution you can visit http://www.justgiving.com/christopherobrien1. You will have the opportunity to donate through the above site. You can make a normal card donation.
