This Red Nose Day, we’re taking on a huge challenge — a 12‑hour Padel marathon — all to raise funds for the life‑changing work of MFC Foundation, Middlesbrough FC’s official charity. The Foundation uses the power of sport and education to support young people and communities across Teesside, helping raise aspirations and improve life chances.

Martyn and Iain will be playing the majority of the full 12 hours, taking to the court from 8:00am to 8:00pm in an endurance effort that will definitely test stamina, teamwork and humour. To help keep the energy high throughout the day, we’re inviting colleagues, friends and supporters to join them on court for 45‑minute playing slots.

Every participant will step in as part of the marathon effort — expect fun rallies, a bit of competition, and plenty of encouragement needed to keep Martyn and Iain going strong.

Slots will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis — fitting for a Padel challenge!

If you aren’t able to take part on the day, you can still make a huge difference. Every donation helps MFC Foundation continue delivering the sport‑led programmes that inspire confidence and transform lives across Teesside.

Thank you for supporting our Red Nose Day Padel Challenge. Let’s rally together for an amazing cause!
