Fundraising for Homeless World Cup

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. I'm raising money for the Homeless World Cup Foundation through three sports events in 2010:

Madrid Marathon - April 25

Ride24 (a 24 hour team bike race) - June 19/20

London Triathlon - August 8

Anything you can give to support HWC as they empower the homeless through participation in a tournament that changes people's lives through a week of football will be greatly received. My small effort here is nothing compared to what some of the participants have gone through in their lives, and I encourage you to find out more about this great event at http://www.homelessworldcup.org.

For updates on my training progress, please also visit me at http://mebutfitter.com and follow me on Twitter - @imofo. There are video updates and lots of information on training for events such as this on the blog so please stop by and add your comments and support. It will be great to hear from you!

Again, many thanks for your generosity and support.

The Homeless World Cup Foundation is a unique, pioneering charity which uses football to inspire homeless people to change their own lives. We support grassroots football programmes and social enterprise development through a network of more than 70 Street Football Partners. We provide a focus for—and celebration of—their year-round activity by organising and delivering an annual, world-class, international football tournament for national teams of men and women who are homeless. Since 2001, we have been committed to “changing the lives of people who are homeless through football.” Today, the work of our movement is varied and extensive - from building awareness about homelessness and raising funds for our activities, to organising our annual Homeless World Cup tournament. The Homeless World Cup Tournament is our flagship event. Delivered by the Homeless World Cup Foundation in co-ordination with a Local Organising Committee, the event brings together teams from all around the world for an inspiring week-long festival of football. Participating teams are managed by our Street Football Partners and are formed by men and women all of whom have experienced homelessness.
