Members of staff from Sheffield & Hallamshire FA will be embarking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for Sheffield Children’s Hospital as part of the Masters Cutler Challenge.

James Hope-Gill, Chief Executive will lead the charity football fundraising expedition on a gruelling 23 mile, up hill and down dale walk which the team are aiming to complete in 12 hours.

As an added football twist, the County FA staff taking part will wear the shirt of our local football teams in return for at least £100 sponsorship money. Each sponsoring team will get official partnership recognition for the challenge and acknowledgement and publicity as thanks. If you are interested please contact Kate Evans, Marketing and Communication Officer – 0114 241 4999 or email marketing@sheffieldfa.com  

James Hope-Gill, Chief Executive said “We are hoping to raise in excess of £5,000 for our chosen charity, the Sheffield Children’s Hospital as part of the Master Cutlers Challenge. The County FA staff have never embarked on anything like this before and are really looking forward to the challenge which will hopefully raise lots of money for the Sheffield Children’s Hospital. ”

Sheffield & Hallamshire FA have set up a Just Giving Site for supporters and patrons to donate sponsorship money for the team. Please visit http://www.justgiving.com/SHFACutlersChallenge2009
