"Lead By Example" 16 Mile Run

Hi I'm Dale,

I am the Head Coach & Founder of Ballers Youth Academy in Glasgow.

Since the formation of the team, I have met some incredible people along the way, no more so than young Zac Gunn, a young boy with a love for football but also unfortunately has an awful condition - Pulmonary Hypertension.

This young man always has a smile on his face and humbles me every time we meet and sets reminders that football isn't always everything.

This run will see me start at Ballers Youth Academy training ground at Commando X-Fit in Hillington before reaching the following stops:- Hampden Park, Celtic Park, Ibrox Stadium before returning back at Commando X-Fit - It should be worth noting, I am currently blowing at 5km just now and I've never ran over 10km in my life so I'm here to test myself.

50% of all donations will go towards Zac's Local Hospital (Royal Hospital For Sick Children) & the other 50% going towards Ballers Youth Academy to go away next season.

I wanted to do this run to demonstrate that I will lead by example and although the personal standards we set at Ballers Youth Academy are high because I believe in the potential of these boys, I will conduct myself in the right manner to inspire them also.

Thank You,

Dale
