❤️⚽ WE’VE CLEARED £5,000! – WHAT A DAY! ⚽❤️
I’m absolutely delighted to say that the Walking Football Marathon has now cleared the £5,000 mark! 🙌

What started as an idea to bring people together through Walking Football has turned into something that I’m incredibly proud of.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event on Saturday.

From 9am through to 7pm, it was fantastic to see people of all ages coming together – children, parents, families, older adults, friends and walking footballers – all getting involved.

Apart from a little lull between around 13:45 and 3pm, there was football being played virtually all day! ⚽
But the day was about much more than football.

❤️ Children with Cancer UK
💙 Bushey & Oxhey FC

Two very important causes, and I’m so pleased that together we’ve now raised over £5,000 to support them

⚽ 10-Hour Walking Football Marathon – Update

Things are really starting to gather momentum.

What started as an idea to raise money for Children with Cancer UK and Bushey & Oxhey FC has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of.

The support from local businesses has been amazing, with some fantastic sponsorships and raffle prizes already donated – big shout outs to follow! The raffle is shaping up to have some brilliant prizes, which I hope will help us raise even more.

If you’d like to donate or for your business to Sponsor the Event, the details are on the flyers, that would be wonderful. All details are on the flyers.

Having had the pleasure and privilege of facilitating Walking Football locally for the past 8 years, I’ve seen first-hand the incredible impact it can have.

For me, Walking Football is about so much more than football. It’s about inclusion, friendship, activity, confidence and community.

That’s why I’m passionate about this 10-hour Marathon having a wider impact too. If it can raise money for two great causes while showing even more people what Walking Football can offer, it will be worth every step.

A huge thank you to everyone supporting the event so far. ❤️

10 hours. Two great causes. One fantastic community!

More updates coming soon. ⚽

⚽ CAN YOU HELP ME RAISE £5,000 FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER UK AND BUSHEY & OXHEY FC? ⚽

Most of us will know a child who has faced cancer, or a family whose lives have been turned upside down by it. I know that the support available to these children and their families is absolutely crucial, helping them navigate some of the most difficult times imaginable.

That is why I am organising a 10 Hour Walking Football Marathon to raise funds for Children with Cancer UK and Bushey & Oxhey FC.
📅 SAVE THE DATE: [Saturday 12th September 2026]
📎 Please see the attached flyer for full details.

This event is about much more than football. Walking football is an incredibly inclusive sport that brings people together, improves physical and mental wellbeing, and provides opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to stay active, social, and connected.

Having facilitated walking football groups in the community for the past eight years, I have seen first-hand the positive impact it has had on so many people's lives.

Now, I'm hoping to harness that community spirit to make a difference for children and families affected by cancer.

Participants in the marathon, younger and older, will be taking on an fun and exciting challenge, all while raising money for causes that genuinely change lives.

Whether you can donate £5, £10, £20, or more, every contribution will help. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing this post could help us reach someone who can.

💼 Business sponsorship opportunities are also available. If your business would like to support the event and make a meaningful difference, please get in touch with me directly.

Together, we can support Children with Cancer UK in their incredible work, help Bushey & Oxhey FC continue to strengthen our local community, and perhaps even inspire someone to discover the many benefits of walking football for themselves.

Thank you for your support. It really does mean a lot.
