We have decided to adopt the wonderful 'Team Makayla' as our chosen charity.
This amazing charity raises money to give children battling cancer a treat which is up to £500 spent on whatever the child wants.
We met Mikayla along with her family and volunteers who work tirelessly for the charity on our recent visit to Kettering Town FC where the club was holding a fundraiser for them and we was blown away by Team Makayla and the courageous young lady Mikayla herself who came up with the idea to start this great cause.
Mikayla who is 18 years old has been fighting brain cancer since the age of 4 and is still receiving life saving treatment as she continues to battle against this awful disease came up with the idea to give other children a treat to put a smile on their faces at such a difficult time and since the charity has been going some £300,000 has been raised with over 300 treasure boxes granted to the kids with their chosen gifts inside.
The charity has won many awards and has also received The Queens Award for Voluntary Service which is an MBE for voluntary groups.
This is a fantastic way to bring some light into the darkness and a smile to the children's faces whilst unfortunately fighting cancer.
We at Proper Football along with the support of you, our followers, intend to raise as many treats as possible.
Each time we reach the goal of £500 this will be handed to team Mikayla who will facilitate a treat to one of the children.
This will all be documented and every penny will go to that child so please support us In this quest to raise as many treats to help as many children with cancer as we possibly can! If you are able to.
Here are pictures of the many gifts/treats given to the children so far.
Cancer has no colours and we, the football family all stand together as one with this message!
We already have £500 to give to the charity and we are now on our way to raise another £500 for a second Treat/Treasure box, so if you can, no matter how small please make a donation to our fundraiser or even just sharing it to others would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your support and we will keep you updated when the treasure boxes are given to the children.
