SAFC supporters and players get behind Foundation of Light Day
Sunderland AFC’s match against Queens Park Rangers was dedicated to the Foundation of Light and the day was well supported throughout by SAFC players and fans alike.
Being a local lad, I’ve always been a great supporter of Foundation of Light and the amazing work they do in the local community. I like to keep active and when I heard about the Windy Gyle Walk I was more than happy to get involved. It's going to be a challenge to complete it and I’ve already been getting some training in. Hopefully we get a lot of fans and walkers join us and raise a lot of money for a fantastic charity.
Richie Pitt, Sunderland AFC FA Cup winnerJemma Garrett, Foundation of Light's Events Manager, added: "Following the huge success of our Hadrian's Wall Walk we are excited to host the Windy Gyle Challenge. "We're delighted a club legend such as Richie has kindly offered his time to support the Foundation and take part. "We'd also like to thank North East Walk Guides for their help in organising the event and the route which will be both challenging and rewarding for our walkers." Fundraisers are asked to pay a registration fee of £20 with a fundraising pledge of £100. For more information about the walk view the Frequently Asked Questions at the Windy Gyle Challenge page.
