Team HDB a Thursday night 5 aside team are running the 10K Xrunner event for Jays 30th birthday on 1st April 2017.

Ages ranging between 20 and 46 and similar large waist sizes this certainly won't be a breeze for the team, well out of everybody's comfort zone.

We are all involved in supporting Awareness for Autism in one way or another, John Daly one member of the team is the Charity Principal. Jay Aldred who's birthday it is coaches the young AFA hammers along with Daniel Truscott and both play for the AFA mens team. I (Allen) have been lucky to play a couple of games for them and also the company I work for Eagle Plastics have helped with clothing and sponsorship for the event.

Stolen from the AFA site;
Awareness For Autism UK was founded in July 2013, with the vision to support families and individuals on the Autism Spectrum. AFAUK rapidly grew in size, with Autism Friendly events increasing in no time at all - from Autism Friendly Cinema Screenings, to Autism Friendly Soft Play, and even on to the now very popular Autism Friendly Football sessions that we run with our very own AFA Hammers.

On the fundraising front, we have been very fortunate in our time, to have acquired the services of many great fundraisiers, from 5 and 10k races, charity football events - and even one very determined Autism Dad who rode a 30 year old BMX bike Coast to Coast in 2015. With the fundraising in full swing, we have been very forunate to have raised vast sums of money for a couple of excisiting charities, as well as being in an extrememly fortunate position, where we have donated many iPads to children with autism, for use in their school.
