Story

Hampshire FA staff members plan to walk 80 miles in a day - shared between a team of 5, equating to 16 miles per person on Wednesday 25th of October!

Our route around Portsmouth has been mapped out and we are ready to reach our goal for the charity.

Young cancer patients face an 80 mile round trip, on average, to get treatment. This isn't by choice. Many young cancer patients have to travel to specialist cancer centres to get the care they need, they can't just go to their local hospital.

Not only is this physically and emotionally exhausting, it comes it a huge financial cost too. It costs £250 a month when treatment is at its most intense. As treatment can go on for years, young people and families are often plunged into debt.
