Dear Family and Friends,

On Friday 27th march I am setting off on a big challenge: walking the full length of the Hadrians Wall Path.

Hadrians wall path is about 84 miles long, and I aim to complete it in 5 days starting from the west at Bowness-on-Solway and finishing at Wallsend, Segedunum Roman Fort. It will be very tough, but I will be doing a lot of training and I am very excited to see if I can do it and raise some money for the brilliant charity, Street Soccer Foundation.

I am passionate about football as a player and supporter. Playing football has taught me a lot about myself, especially resilience, teamwork, and to not give up when things are hard. Being part of a team has helped me grow in confidence and understand how important it is to support others.

I want to raise funds and awareness for the Street Soccer Foundation to give something back and help other young people through football. I think it is really important that everyone has a chance to feel supported and believe in themselves.

If you feel able to donate any amount of money towards my fundraising target I would be so grateful and it will motivate me to keep going when I am sore and tired!

Thank you so much for your time to read this and for supporting me. Best wishes, Gilly x
