Supporting the England Amputee football national team

All of you know how much I am absolutely loving having the chance to play football again. Amputee football has been a life saver for me.

Having the opportunity to be involved with England is a dream for me and I would like to do my part in giving something back to a sport that has given me so many positives.

With the football association cutting funding for amputee football, the England amputee football association is a registered charity and so, is reliant on peoples good nature and support and it’s players and staff doing what they can to help our country compete with the very best in the world.

The time, effort and resources that go into amputee football in England is phenomenal and so, to raise money to play my part, I feel like I need to do something to justify asking people to donate and so, this year, when fixtures and time allows, I will step into the boxing ring as an amputee in a white collar boxing bout, be that against another amputee or an able bodied boxer.

With football commitments, I’m unable to commit to a date yet, but I will tick this off this year.

I want the money raised to have been earned, so hopefully this is another sporting challenge I’m able to accomplish.
