My story

 

Hi there,
Thanks so much for visiting my fundraising page. I'm off to the Sahara Desert on the 13th of November (unlucky for some) with a few Manchester United legends to raise money for the Manchester United Foundation (see bottom of this section for where you're donation will go), and make a documentary for MUTV along the way.
As most of you will know, I have never done anything like this in my entire life, and to say it's a daunting prospect is an understatement!! Nevertheless, I aim to raise as much as possible, so your support is much appreciated.

I've been training like a demon, and none of my trousers fit me anymore!! The one thing that's worrying me at this stage, is no shower facilities for a week....baby wipes, and lots of them!!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Manchester United Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Wish me luck!!

So please sponsor me now!
The Manchester United Foundation not only raises money for UNICEF, but also raises funds for two national and four local charities:
- The Children's Society – Providing help for children who face the greatest danger, discrimination & disadvantage
- Cystic Fibrosis Trust – Funding research to treat, cure and support CF sufferers
- Rainbow House – Giving a brighter future to children with disabilities
- Christie's – Raising money for one of Europe’s leading cancer treatment centres
- New Children’s Hospital Appeal – Raising funds for Manchester’s new state-of-the-art Children’s Hospital
- Francis House - Giving respite for families by giving terminally ill children a loving home from home
