Story
Buckland u14's football team are cycling from our home at Homers Heath, Newton Abbot to Bristol Children's Hospital in order to raise awareness and support for The British Heart Foundation as well as raise money for our u14's youth football team.
Ella Halfyard, an amazing young lady who plays for Buckland u16s team, has had fantastic support from doctors and nurses at Bristol Children's Hospital. She is a courageous and resilient young lady, who also happens to be amazing at football. It's also a charity very close to our hearts at Buckland for a number of our parents and children.
The distance from Homers Heath to Bristol Children's Hospital is 180 miles return. We are attempting to cycle this using 2 bikes at Winners Gym, Newton Abbot in 12 hours, starting at 9am on Friday 25th July. It will need a real team effort from all involved. We will also be raising some money for our u14s to continue playing football in the next few seasons.
Any form of support would be greatly appreciated. We will be covering the event and build up to it on our social media platforms at Buckland, so please keep an eye out for our progress 💛🖤
