10 Jun
Summary
- Jill Scott is undertaking a 388-mile journey across England.
- The challenge spans five days, running and cycling through major cities.
- Funds raised will support Sport for Change projects in communities.
Football legend Jill Scott MBE is embarking on a remarkable five-day, 388-mile "Coming Home Challenge" for Sport Relief. This epic journey will see her run and cycle from London's iconic Wembley Stadium all the way to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.
Her route is deeply personal, passing through stadiums that marked her professional career and the grassroots club where her football journey began. Key cities on her path include Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, before she arrives home in the North East.
The challenge's core mission is to support communities and foster a sense of belonging. Specifically, at least 50% of the funds raised will directly finance Sport for Change projects within local communities. These initiatives utilize sports like football, running, and cycling to create safe spaces and provide essential support.
An additional portion of the funds will be invested in Comic Relief's broader charitable endeavors. Supporters can contribute to Jill's efforts by donating online, ensuring every mile of her challenge makes a difference.
