Hi, my name is Anita, and would love it if you could support my son Thomas Ashcroft. Here are a few words from him about his challenge.

‘I will be doing an 8 mile walk up Chipping Fells in April to help raise funds for Bootle bucks inclusion football club.

Bootle bucks inclusion FC will be attending there first ever international football tournament in Belfast June 2019.

I have always loved football, but never been part of a team, until I joined Bootle Bucks in December 2018. This has been the making of me; I have made so many new friends. It is all down to our wonderful coaches and helpers, who give up their spare time to teach and train us.

We along with the parents, have become one big family, with great support all round.

This is a fantastic opportunity for all of us, to be travelling away from home, as most of us have never left the comfort of our homes/families.

All money raised will go towards the cost of the trip for players to enjoy a unique maybe once in a lifetime experience
