Footsteps 4 Families comprises of 4 football fans putting one foot in front of the other across demanding distances in order to raise money for good causes.

Mark, Mike, Chris & Craig, all of a ‘mid-life crisis’ age, 3 electricians and a healthcare worker with little endurance walking experience, hope to ensure with every mile of our mission we maximise the positive contributions to the families using respite services.

It is a challenge designed to push us to our limits. Whilst generating as much attention as possible to ultimately maximise donations, with the NUMBER 1 GOAL being to support these two great charities in providing respite care for families with poorly children.

We aim to fund time in Acorns Children’s Hospice for the kids whilst providing first class entertainment and engagement days for the families.

By pushing ourselves, we hope to prize you of some of your hard earned money and ensure you we will work closely with these two incredible charities to make these services a reality.

We have previously worked with Acorns Children’s Hospice, raising funds and giving time as volunteers, we hope with this challenge will take our support of these charities to a new level and support amazing services for families.
