Hi, my name is Tom and I'm the manager for Sandbach United U16's football team.

After a successful trip to the Netherlands where we won the Brabant Open, the team and I are looking forward to our next challenge!

The team are wanting to enter the Lignano Sabbiadoro Cup in Italy or the Copa Jordi Cup in Spain, but need your help to do so! Combining sports and travel helps our young athletes to connect with other teams cross-culturally, exposes them to international competition and fosters personal growth, independence and enriches their skill set.

To evidence the teams commitment to this opportunity myself, our players and their supportive parents are going to run the total of 1,107 miles! This is the distance from Sandbach to Rimini, Italy; the furthest tournament!

We promise to share our journey of stamina and sweat, in the hopes we can bring home another success story!

So please do click the link, share with friends and donate anything you can, as any donation to support us would be hugely appreciated!

The funds we raise will support the expenses that come with such opportunities including travel and accommodation. The more we raise, the less the children will have personally contribute, meaning no one gets left behind!
