Barnton FC are raising money to support #Ward77 of the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, the cause has been chosen by the Club as this ward is the one that looks after one of our very own in defender Dan Meadowcroft's daughter.

Evie has a condition known as Extreme Short Bowel Syndrome which needs the specialist care of the staff at the hospital. As a Club we aim to raise money for ongoing project requirements that maintain the ward with much needed equipment & specialist resource support. The Club will also be delivering Barnton FC teddy bears to the sick children who will be on the ward during the festive period.

Our Manager Steve Lloyd said "We've all been deeply touched by the problems Dan's little daughter Evie has to live with & want to show our support in whichever we can by raising funds for much needed equipment, the bears will enable us all to put a smile on the faces of the little children who are suffering with their health over Christmas, even if that is only for a short time, it will make it all worthwhile."
