Evening all,
I shall be participating in a "football marathon" on July 19th in aid of Tackle Africa, http://www.tackleafrica.org/index.html, a charity that aims to raise awareness and understanding of HIV and AIDS across Africa through the global medium of football.
Now to why it I referred to it as a football marathon...
-
The football marathon is a continuous 6 a side tournament on that runs for 12 hours (8.30am-8.30pm) non stop.
-
There are 32 teams that will be playing 20 min games on continuous rotation
-
Each squad has 8 players with rolling subs
-
We will play an average of 23 games of football during the day
-
You will cover roughly 32 miles during the day (averaging 4mph).
If you feel that this is a worthy enough cause to be donating to, and you feel pity for the physical pain i'm sure I will gladly endure, please feel free to donate. Even the smallest amount will suffice for a most worthy cause.
Thank you very much for your support.
Harman
ps. The last marathon raised over £50,000
