WALES WALKING FOOTBALL TEAM KIT

11 years ago, my Mum & Dad retired to mid Wales. They both took up part time jobs, working in their local community for another 8 years, before retiring completely. Dad has had a few health problems over the years, despite still being super-fit at 75!

3 years ago, he joined Merthyr Tydfil Walking Football club and was then selected to play for the over 70’s Welsh team.

This year, they are off to Sweden to play in the World Championships, which is really exciting. The trip is completely self-funded, and now the team is trying to raise some funds to provide the players with smart travel and warm-up gear, to give them a sense of national pride and promote walking football. This amazing activity can help with all kinds of mental and physical well-being for older men and women

My Mum has decided to do a sponsored swim to raise some money for this cause. On May 2nd, she will be swimming:

70 LENGTHS IN 70 MINUTES IN HER 70TH YEAR FOR THE OVER-70'S WELSH WALKING FOOTBALL TEAM.

The target is £700.
