A group of Midlands based footie fans are playing a 12 hour football marathon next month in aid of
Acorns Children’s Hospice and
Virgin Balloon Flights flew in to give them a helping hand to raise some extra cash for their cause.
Richard Lewis, team manager & event organiser said “Last year myself and 6 others participated in our first 12 hour five-a-side football marathon on behalf of Birmingham St Mary's Hospice. This involved us playing 12 different teams consecutively; with each opposing team playing only one hour to ensure their legs were fresh. With sponsors help, the event raised in excess of £2,600 for a worthwhile cause which justified our pain and injuries.”
“The setup is the same this year, another 12 five-a-side teams all against us. Only difference is this year we are supporting Acorns Children’s Hospice,” he added.
Hoping to better their fundraising total this year the boys are hard at work getting corporate sponsors to donate things, prize donations for raffles and of course you can pledge your cash at

Keep your eyes peeled at their fundraising events for Virgin Balloon Flight hot air balloon rides and copies of Sir Richard Branson’s internationally bestselling autobiography ‘Losing My Virginity!’
