The reason I am setting this up is because I help coach a U7's team that play football every week and they love it so much that I feel it would be appropriate to give something back to them and grassroots level football by funding much needed training/match day equipment.

My sons team is Celtic Lilly whites and as with most youth football teams, it is run without profit by a team of volunteers who give their time and effort for the benefit of young kids.

The difference to the kids is almost immediate. Better equipment, better facilities can only aid the kids development. Kids need these kinds of things in the community but they don't fund themselves.

They need help, therefore on Sat 20th May I will be taking on Tough Mudder 2017!

One day… 12 miles… and 20 obstacles including the blackness monster and the icey plunge!

So please help the team and grassroots level football!

Any donation big or small is much appreciated and will help towards our goal.
