An interesting story and it ties up a couple of my interests.

I would like to introduce you to Charlie. I don’t know him personally but his grandfather and I are on a couple of football forums. Charlie has committed to attending all the 15 play off matches in the Championship, League 1 and League 2. Tragically Gillingham do not feature but he is currently visiting
Bristol City, Coventry, Sheffield United and his beloved Sunderland. In league 2 and 3 it is AFC Wimbledon, Charlton, Chesterfield, Notts County, Orient, Stockport, Walsall and Wycombe. The winners of the two legged semi-finals continue to Wembley where promotion awaits. To make things even more exciting for Charlie, Sunderland are guaranteed a place after two tremendous semi-finals against Coventry. They will play Sheffield United who bulldozed Bristol City 6-0 on aggregate.

That’s interesting enough but to take it to the next level, Charlie is raising money for a cancer appeal and has already collected over £1400 for Cancer Research UK. If you fell able to donate, please do so.

I have donated and have also offered to send 10 random programmes to anybody who donates £5 and 20 to anybody who donates £10. Just PM me here and I will pop them in the post to you. Any specific teams? Please ask and I will try to oblige. Here is the official fundraise page from Cancer Research UK.
