Ben from P6JF takes on a ‘March Marathon Challenge’ to raise money for the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.

26th Feb 2021

Ben is an extremely keen and competitive footballer and he is really missing being able to play the sport as part of a team. He realises it’s important to keep his fitness levels up so has come up with the idea to run a mile each day in March until he reaches 26 miles - a marathon!  It was also his idea to do this to raise money for charity at the same time. Ben’s family have chosen the NI Children’s Hospice and they have been in touch and are very supportive of him. 

Attached is his fundraising graphic and the Just Giving link is  https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Benjiballer5

We would like to encourage everyone to support Ben in his venture by making a donation to this very worthwhile local charity.

Brilliant idea Ben. We wish you the very best of luck with the challenge!
