Hi everyone,
I've been roped in by my friend (Rob) at the last minute, so no training, for a football marathon this Saturday in aid of a charity called
Tackle Africa. They raise HIV awareness and educate young people through coaching programmes, reaching 15,000 people a year across six African countries.
It's a 12 hour day 8am-8pm with nearly 7 hours of playing time. I'll make sure I bring a couple of classic Charlton kits with me for the day and try to get some pics of the event.
If you feel you want to support me then my friend has set up a just giving page
here: (

Cheers
Dave (Northern_Monkey)
