Hi Im Jadey,

Having lost a very good friend and work colleague who meant the world to me a few years ago, I have decieded to do football matches to raise funds for charities that are close to my heart in his memory.

For this years GARY TOWNSEND TROPHY MATCH. I have chosen to raise money for Forward Facing Charity as I have seen first hand the benefits their events do to the families they support when I worked as volunteer at football events they have held in the past.

I have worked really hard over the past few months to try and make this event possible as Im very passionate about helping Forward Facing raise much needed funds and awareness for the charity so they can help many more families make memories.

Here is a bit of info about Forward Facingwww.forwardfacing.co.uk

Forward Facing is a registered charity that provides creative and fun activities for children and young people with long term or life limiting conditions; including their families and local people who are suffering bereavement or are disadvantaged in other ways.

We make memories, build confidence, and support families facing difficult times.

We do this through workshops, Memory Making Days and fun days out for the whole family. We also hold special events for parents and carers.
