Ella Parsons’ 10 Peaks Challenge for Minehead AFC

Hi everyone!

My name is Ella Parsons, and I’m taking on the epic challenge of walking the **Lake District 10 Peaks** — approx 12hour hike summitting 10 peaks across hilly terrain — to raise money for the **Minehead AFC Under 13s** football team!

As a community club, Minehead AFC U13s thrive on the support of local families and sponsors. The boys (and their amazing coaches!) work incredibly hard each week to develop their skills, learn teamwork, and grow a love for the game.

**Why am I doing this?**

Our team really needs a **gazebo/event shelter** to keep the players (and their families) dry and protected during tournaments. At the moment, our kit and refreshments get soaked whenever it rains — and let’s face it, it’s the UK, so it rains a lot! ☔️

A proper event shelter would:

✅ Keep players dry and comfortable during breaks.

✅ Protect kit and equipment from the elements.

✅ Provide a welcoming base for parents and supporters.

✅ Make our tournament days extra special!

If we get enough, I'd also like to get the team some feather flags and matching kit bags if budget will allow! The more I can raise the more I can give back to this team!

**My challenge:**

On Thursday 12th June, I’ll be tackling the Lale District 10 Peaks — a really tough trek over 10 challenging summits — all in one day! It’s going to be tough, but every step I take is for the team.

**How you can help:**

Every donation, big or small, will make a real difference to these fantastic young players. Let’s show them that their community is behind them — cheering them on and keeping them dry on tournament days!

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page with friends and family. Every share helps us get closer to our goal!

Thank you so much for your support. Let’s make this happen for the Minehead AFC Under 13s!

**Donate now and help us give these young footballers the support they deserve.** ❤️⚽️
