World record footballathon!
Simon Lynes is raising money for University of Birmingham Guild of Students - Kids Adventure
Story
On the 11-12th of April, 2009, footballing history will be made in the Bristol Academy Footballathon as we will play football for 36 continuous hours in order to set a new world record.
From 10am on Saturday, April 11th, until 10pm on Sunday, April 12th, we will play constantly in order to break the current record of 33 hours, 36 minutes.
We are only allowed 36 players, so it's going to be a big challenge! That's a full day and a half, with only 7 subs per team. Just going without sleep is going to be tough, never mind playing football! The rules are really strict as it's a world record attempt so you can be assured that we will not be taking it easy...
It's being played for two really good causes and we want to raise a lot of money. Kids Adventure run holidays for children who would otherwise miss out on the kind of experiences that we all took for granted in our childhood. I've volunteered with KA before, as have a number of other players, and the money donated will make such as difference to these children so please give generously.
If you would prefer to give to Meningitis Trust, or want to split your donation, please go to www.justgiving.com/worldrecordfootball
