Hi friends! Jasper and I are fundraising for OSCAR International, a children’s charity in India that uses football to engage youth in education, encouraging them to stay in school and equipping them with skills to make them resilient and future ready. Through its Football, Education and Young Leader programmes, they have empowered 14,000 children and youth in low-income communities in India since 2010.

We will be joining the Oscar foundation in Mumbai next January to volunteer with the charity. We aim to raise £3000 in support of the charity and will each be doing a sponsored run of 10km passing the ball between ourselves. 10km is the distance some children in rural Mumbai have to walk to school everyday. We would be really grateful for any sponsorship for this very worthy cause.

We're also offering a prize! Guess how many passes of the ball it will take and the closest answer WINS a football signed by England and Arsenal legend Tony Adams ⚽️🏆

Many thanks for any contribution, however small, and don’t forget to write in the comments how many passes of the ball you think we will take.

Jasper Norman and Ted Cussans
