Deeping United U12 Girls 792km Challenge

Our 792km Challenge: Run for Health, Run for Heart, Run for Hope with Deeping United!

Welcome to our 792km Challenge! Ignited by a lively football match between our enthusiastic coaches and the DFC Lionesses U12 Girls, this initiative has grown into a vibrant movement of strength, unity, and inspiration. Fuelled by the spirit of the game, our coaches are at the forefront of a challenge that goes beyond physical fitness—it's about nurturing community bonds and making a real difference.

The Challenge: 792km for Mental and Heart Health

Join us on a mission to collectively run or walk 792km in the next 90 days. This distance represents our commitment to the 792 million people affected by mental health issues around the world and underscores the importance of mental and heart health. Our collective journey will reach its pinnacle at the Deeping Fun Run/10km on May 19th at Spalding Road.

Celebrating Lee Sutton's Journey and Raising Awareness

This challenge is particularly poignant as we support heart health in honour of Lee Sutton, a beloved former chairman of Deeping United. Lee's brave recovery from a heart attack, including his surgery and care at Royal Papworth Hospital, makes him an inspiration and a dynamic participant in this challenge. In his honour, we're fundraising for The Bobby Copping Foundation, the Royal Papworth Hospital Charity, and our team. A portion of the funds raised will also subtly contribute to enhancing our team's equipment for upcoming seasons, ensuring our players have the best support in their sporting endeavours.

The Bobby Copping Foundation: A Pillar of Support

The Bobby Copping Foundation, a crucial part of our fundraising efforts, is a registered mental health charity dedicated to providing accessible mental health support. Through fully funded counselling services and educational workshops, the foundation emphasises that mental health support should be available to everyone.
