My story

Dear Friends

Manchester United Foundation Sahara Challenge

November 13^th-20^th 2009

In Support of Manchester United Foundation Charities

In November of this year I will be trekking across the Moroccan Deserts to raise funds for Manchester United Foundation’s work within the community and its chosen Charity partners. The chosen charities are United and UNICEF, The Children’s Society, Christies, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Francis House Children’s Hospice, The New Children’s Hospital Appeal and Rainbow House. During the eight days I will be dealing with not just the Sahara heat during the day and sleeping under canvas in the evenings but also not being able to watch Manchester United TV for a whole week!! I am trying to fund raise a minimum of £3,200 to help with the amazing work of the Foundation and its charity partners.

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 in two ways through the above site. Firstly, you can make a normal card donation. If you do this and you are a UK taxpayer then you can increase your donation by clicking on the gift aid icon when you donate. Secondly, you can bid for a Manchester United Football signed by members of the Manchester United 1^st Team. This comes complete with a framed Certificate of Authenticity. I would like to start the auction at a bid of £100. Please make sure you tell me within your comments/message that you are bidding for the ball!! You can also send me an e mail.

For more information please see the associated document. You can also learn more in regard to my chosen event by visiting www.mufoundation.org

Kind regards.

Yours sincerely
