<div>Help our young footballers get to Portugal. ⚽️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My little lad, Zane Fraser Gilbert has been given an exciting opportunity to go to Portugal next year, Summer 2026 with his amazing Football Team, AC Balloan.
</div>
<div>This is a week long trip where he will be playing against foreign teams and representing his football team, AC Balloan in a tournament.
</div>
<div>This is an opportunity of a lifetime for this little lad and he is desperate to go, hence, this little fundraising page he has asked for. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These kids train hard, show incredible team spirit and dream big. The memories, lessons and confidence he and his team will gain from this trip will last a lifetime.!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are allowed to fundraise for this trip , so here goes , Team G will be offering their absolutely priceless skills for a small donation, so have a think if there is anything you would like done: we can dog walk, clean windows (or, maybe not that,!), we can wrap xmas pressies, we could even buy your Xmas presssies for ya (separate credit card required for that.!), we could wash cars (Zane could do that., I’d prob just drive it to a car wash.!) . We could help around the house, babysit. We are willing and prepared to be as helpful as we can in return for a small donation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Also, we have been given an opportunity to secure a couple of sponsorship deals, which would give a company the opportunity to support Zane in his quest to get to Portugal and they will get their business logo on his
</div>
<div>t-shirt that he wears out there for press photos and of course, 9 months of complete business promotion from ME, trust me, if this is an option for your business, I can guarantee you, that, every single person in the North of Scotland &amp; further beyond, will know your a sponsor for my little Zane while he’s in Portugal &amp; will know your business name. We could also volunteer to work within your business, how can anyone refuse that.! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A little about the lad you’re helping. He is Zane, he’s the youngest of my 2 boys and he loves sports.! This is his first ever football team and they are called AC Balloan, they mainly train at Milton Pitches and the IRA &amp; they are made up of a great bunch of boys and some superb coaches. The dedication these coaches put into these kids is quite remarkable and the group of boys are a great bunch. I’m very proud and thankful that Zane is part of this team and that he’s been given this opportunity.
</div>
<div>Zane is soon to be 13, he’s a great kid, he’s funny, honest, kind &amp; I know I’m slightly biased but my god, he deserves this trip &amp; I’ll do everything in my power to get him there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, thanks for reading. Our fund raising mission starts with immediate effect. Every single donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to his goal - TO GET TO PORTUGAL AND REPRESENT HIS FOOTBALL TEAM &amp; THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support means the world to us, we will be involved in some events over the next 9 months so if you see us coming, don’t lock that door. Please support us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading and let the fun in this fundraising quest begin. Love from Team G and mainly, Zane Gilbert, age 12.
