Aldershot Town fans have been nominated by our friends at Hartlepool United, to take part in an amazing fundraising challenge on FRIDAY 22ND MAY, to raise vital funds for our NHS.
‘Moving with Myles for the NHS’ is a fundraising initiative set up by former Shots loanee Myles Anderson.
Until now National League Players have been heavily involved and now it’s time for the fans!
Myles & his sister Hollie are hosting a London Marathon 2020 Remix, on Instagram, in which our supporters can get involved, by creating teams of people to run, walk or cycle 26 miles! For example, 26 supporters may walk/run 1 mile each on Friday, or perhaps 4 fans wish to cycle 6.5 miles each!
AFC Fylde nominated Harrogate Town who nominated Myles’ club Hartlepool United and they nominated us! All three have done excellently for the cause! But now, it is our turn!
We’ve decided to do it on our #FitnessFriday !
How to get involved?
Send us a DM on Twitter @OfficialShots to register your interest. Tell us your full name and how many miles you will cover on the day along with how much money you will be donating to the cause.
From here, we will put you into a team, lead by a member or members of the first team, and your team will aim to complete 26 miles by the end of the day. Hopefully, we can get enough people to make two or more teams so please be sure to let us know by WEDNESDAY 20th MAY and take part on FRIDAY 22ND MAY. If we have more than one team, you will be notified by DM which team you are assigned to by the date itself so that you can interact with your team members through social media to motivate each other!
Alternatively, you can create your own team, made up of you and your friends/family to cover the 26 miles on the day. If you plan to do this, please let us know on via Twitter DM who is participating in your team and how much you plan to donate so we can include you in our final totals!
MAKE SURE TO SEND US A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR DONATION ON THE DAY ITSELF AND YOUR MILES COVERED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FINAL TOTAL!
WHEN DONATING MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE “#THESHOTS” IN THE MESSAGE TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE WITH US!
If you wish to take part and be involved in a team then please let us know via DM on Twitter by NEXT WEDNESDAY MAY 20TH. If you decide to take part by yourself on the day then be sure to send us your miles and donations.
If you are unable to show your support physically, be sure to still donate and support the cause.
