Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On 18th June, I'll be attempting to visit all of the football grounds in the top two divisions of the Scottish league in just 48 hours.  I'll be travelling 600 long, lonely miles by public transport and on foot, taking a photograph of myself at each stadium as proof; believe me, this really will be a race against time.

I'm hoping to raise money for Spirit of Soccer.  This is a charity which educates children around the world about the dangers of mines and other explosive remnants of war, while simultaneously providing them with FIFA-endorsed football coaching.  I first heard of this organisation through the following article on the FIFA website; take a look and read about the work they've been doing in Cambodia, where an estimated six million live mines remain from decades of guerrilla war.

If you'd consider sponsoring me, your generosity would be much appreciated.  Even a little money can go a long way; 64p (just 3p per ground) buys a T-shirt, £3.20 buys a football and £200 can create a football pitch in a mine-polluted village.

Thanks for reading, and I'll post photos on here when I've (hopefully) accomplished the task.
