Story

I will be taking part in a Guinness World Record attempt at the longest football match on Thursday the 26th of May, fundraising for the British Heart Foundation, and a lasting memorial to Matt Chaplain, Matt Grimstone & Jacob Schilt.

On 22nd August 2015, I lost my best friend Matt Grimstone, and fellow school mate Jacob in the Shoreham Airshow disaster along with many other victims. Matt was a huge part of my life and was influential to me, leaving a large void behind. Matt Chaplain, who also played for Worthing United, tragically passed away in 2013 from a cardiac arrest.

The event will consist of two teams of 11 players, with seven rolling substitutes set to play night and day on a full-sized pitch at Lancing College. The current record stands at 105 hours, or four and a half days, which we aim to beat.

If you could please take a moment out of your day to donate however much you please so I can reach my target, that would be greatly appreciated! Donations accepted by PayPal if you are registered which I believe is the quickest method.
