Story

Hi My Name is Eden Kosh. I am 8 years old.

I have been playing football since I was 2 years old and it's been my passion ever since. I always like to see the positive in everything and since the beginning of our first pandemic lockdown in March 2020 I decided that I would use my time productively and raise money for a good cause as well. 

This charity is very close to my heart. My dad ran the London Marathon for 'The Real Team Katie' for 'Children with Cancer UK' in 2015. Katie's story inspired me to use this challenge a fund raising opportunity.

I have decided to undertake a 1000 Kick-Up Challenge because not only will it really improve my game but if I can help raise money for a very worthy cause in the process  - that can really make a difference to the life of another kid.. this makes me happy. 

This challenge has been a year in the making.. when I started I could only manage 28 Kick-Ups without dropping the ball. Since last year I have taken every opportunity to practice and practice and am now at 779!! 

I am very excited about reaching this goal - it means the world to me to achieve it and in doing so help to save the lives of other children. 

I know, that the pandemic has been a difficult time for people so please donate whatever you can..

When I see the donations coming in it will really motivate me to get over that 1000 Kick-Up line! 

I will post my video online once it's done!!
