Staff at Stourbridge WFC are completing a walking/running/bike challenge. The distance we cover will be equal to the amount of miles from our home ground, DY84HN to Newcastle United Womens ground, Kingston Park NE13 8AF. Which is equivalent to 207 miles.

All proceeds will be donated to the Maddy Cusack foundation which is helping to inspire young girls in their retrospective footballing journey, whilst keeping Maddy’s memory alive. The foundation is doing wonderful things, and we all need to ensure we continue our support and ensure changes are made to support all footballers, and always treat them as people first. This is something that is incredibly important to us at the club and something we wish to change across the wider footballing world.

On average we will be completing 10.7km per day/6.7 miles per day. Over the 31 days of January. This will be per staff member. So every member of staff that takes part will be walking/running/biking 207 miles this month for the foundation.

We would appreciate any donation for our January challenge and confirm that ALL proceedings will be for the MC Foundation.

As always the thoughts of Stourbridge WFC remain firmly with the Cusack family and all friends of hers, affected by the sad loss of Maddy. She will not be forgotton.
