42 teams. Hundreds of players. One incredible community effort.
From Friday 5th June through to Saturday 6th June, our 24-Hour Football Fundraiser brought together local businesses, football teams, volunteers and supporters to raise funds for The Brain Tumour Charity, and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone who played a part in making the event such a success.
Held in memory of our dear friend Sue Hebson, the fundraiser was especially meaningful to all of us. Sue's son, Robbie, a valued member of the Atkinsons' team, showed remarkable commitment throughout the event, spending more than 24 hours on site and playing over nine hours of football.
A huge thank you to Penrith AFC for hosting the fundraiser and generously providing their excellent facilities. We'd also like to thank the many local businesses, participants, volunteers and our own team, whose enthusiasm and support helped make the event possible.
The community spirit on display throughout the challenge was truly inspiring, and we're incredibly proud of what we achieved together in support of The Brain Tumour Charity.
