*PLEASE NOTE, MY BIRTHDAY RAFFLE HAS NOW CLOSED*
Hello Arsenal family,
On March 22nd 2021 I will be trekking from the Dead Sea to the lost city of Petra with David Seaman and 100 Arsenal supporters to raise money for The Arsenal Foundation's ground-breaking Coaching for Life programme.
Coaching for Life sees Arsenal and Save the Children combine their expertise to empower and protect children in some of the world's toughest places by building their courage and inner strength through football.
I first visited Za'atari Refugee Camp, Jordan when I launched Coaching for Life in 2018. There I met an inspiring 15-year-old called Mohammed and learned about how the programme was helping him to deal with fleeing Syria when he was just nine.
Thank you so much to everyone who donated to this page as part of my birthday raffle. We raised an amazing amount and I really appreciate everyone taking the time to get involved.
My birthday raffle has now closed and the draw has taken place. The four winners will be contacted in due course.
Due to the escalation of COVID-19, The Arsenal Foundation has unfortunately had to postpone this challenge until 22-27 March 2021.
In the meantime, this page will remain open as I continue my fundraising efforts ahead of the trek, so please do continue to show your amazing support.
Together we can continue to use the Arsenal name to make a positive impact in the world.
