Hi my names Emma,

As Chelmsford City players, we have set this up to help support one of our own team mates. Anything you can give no matter how big or small will massively help and we would be so grateful :) x

Message from Jay:

"Whilst the team are incredibly supportive, it's unfortunately a reality that we have limited access to specialist rehab support and equipment.

Football has been my life for 34 years. It's shaped who I am - as a player, a coach, and a person. Week in, week out, the game has given me purpose, structure, resilience, and identity.

Now, after a full ACL reconstruction with Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis and a large meniscus repair, I'm facing the longest and toughest challenge of my career.

Physically, the pain is awful, making even small daily tasks impossible without help, and mentally, not having the game every week is so hard. I've always been dedicated and motivated at every level I've played and coached at, and my goal is simple: to return to football again.

But I know this road isn't one you walk alone. I'm currently limited in access to physio support and specialist rehab equipment. I’am a committed female footballer chasing her comeback, I would be incredibly grateful for any help, advice, equipment access or sponsorship.

This game has given me everything. I'm determined to do the work to get back to it - and I know with the right support around me, I will.."

Equipment we will need for the club & to support Jay:

(This includes local cryo treatments & oxygen chamber to speed up the bodies recovery process).

The great things is if we can raise enough, we can purchase the equipment and then the club will be able to keep it and use it for any future injuries. Supporting many more footballers for years to come to have much better access to recovery and rehab equipment!

The Womens first team alone has now had 6 knee surgeries in 5 years, 4 of which have been full ACL reconstructions. This has prompted us to take action and not only support jay in her rehab but be able to provide equipment to the club for any future players to have access too.

Thank you for donating & Sharing it means so much!!
