Who is it for? 

This is all for a good cause. TackleAfrica uses the global power and popularity of football to deliver HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information and services to young people on football pitches across the continent. They have reached out to over 20,000 young people and community members. 

How is it done?

12 hours of gruelling football, (normally) blazing sunshine, back to back matches, and the equivalent of running a full marathon. Not bad for someone who is well on the other side of that point of peak fitness. It will be achieved with caffeine, the realisation that playing against people half my age gets more challenging each year, and being unable to realistically move for the proceeding week. 

Finally it is also about finding a way to help those particularly less fortunate than myself. 

Why Donate? 

Because you will also in some small way helping those less fortunate than you too. If you are happy to put in something to help support such a cause then I would be very appreciative.
