The LFC Foundation is the official charity of Liverpool Football Club. Being part of Liverpool FC means being part of the greatest football family in the world. We look out for each other, and particularly those who are in need.

The LFC Foundation deliver a wide range of initiatives and activities that aim to make the biggest impact possible for young people and families both in Merseyside and beyond. In addition to our own programmes they also work in partnership with three local charities to improve the life and health chances of young people.

By completing the 5k and raising money for the foundation, your donations contribute to raising vital funds for LFC Foundation's health and wellbeing programmes, which support people of all ages.

Just some of those programmes include encouraging young people to remain active and healthy through the MOVE programme and supporting local military veterans, while LFC Foundation has also built unique programmes such as Red Hot Beats and Sound Minds that combine the two famous pillars of Liverpool's history – music and football – to teach coping strategies to children across the Liverpool City Region.

I would be so grateful for any donation big or small and hopefully reach my target! This is going to be a challenge as I am not a runner but it is for an amazing cause. Thank you for reading.
