This year we are braving the cold weather (and even colder sea) and putting any Christmas Day hangovers to one side to take part in the Boxing Day Dip and raise as much as we can for a cause that is very important to us all.

Paul has been at Hawthorns since an accident while on holiday in 2015, but now his family are desperate to bring him home and get him back where he belongs. To do this they need to raise money in order to help pay for everything from physio equipment to therapy.

As Hartlepool United are Paul’s favourite club, we will be taking part in the dip wearing Pools’ shirts and would appreciate anything people can give to help us help out a very special young man and his family.

Thank you,

Emma, Lauri, Helena, Becca, Rosie, Laura, Anthony, Adele, Lynsey and Catherine
