💚 Challenge Complete! 🖤

What a month it’s been!

Throughout July, the players and coaches of Drybrook Ladies came together with one goal in mind… to raise money for the upcoming season by getting out and walking or running as many kilometres as possible.

We didn’t just reach our target… we smashed it!

🏃‍♀️ 2,082.06km completed in just 31 days! 🚶‍♀️

From early morning runs and evening walks to miles squeezed in between work, family life and training, every single kilometre counted. We couldn’t be prouder of the commitment and determination shown by everyone involved.

If you’ve been following our journey but haven’t had the chance to donate yet, there’s still time! Every contribution, no matter the size, will help support the team throughout the season by funding travel, kit, equipment and opportunities both on and off the pitch.

A massive thank you to everyone who has already sponsored us, shared our posts and supported us along the way. Your generosity means the world to us.

💚 Here’s to an amazing pre-season and an even better year ahead!

Just 2 days to go… and our incredible ladies are only 66km away from completing their amazing 2,000km challenge! 💚

Throughout July, they’ve run and walked an unbelievable 1,934km to raise funds for the upcoming season. Every step has been taken to help cover travel costs to away games, as unfortunately the team receives no funding for transport.

So far, we’ve raised just under £800 – which is absolutely fantastic – but we’re aiming to double that before the challenge ends!

If you’ve been thinking about sponsoring the team, now is the perfect time. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference and helps ensure these girls can represent the club throughout the season.

Let’s help them smash both their 2,000km target and their fundraising goal in these final two days! 💪💚

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported us so far. Your generosity and encouragement mean the world to the team.

Please donate if you can, share this post, and help us get over the finish line! 💚💚💚

💚 Midway Challenge Update! 🖤

We’re half way through the month and Drybrook Ladies and coaches have now completed an incredible 777.6km of our 2,000km challenge! 🎉

That means there’s just 1,222.4km left to go, and we’re determined to smash our target before the end of the month! 💪

If you’ve been following our journey and would like to support the team, we’d be so grateful for a donation. Every pound raised helps fund our upcoming season, covering travel, kit, equipment, and creating more opportunities both on and off the pitch.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and cheered us on. Let’s keep the momentum going and finish this challenge strong! 💚🖤

This July, Drybrook Ladies are taking on our biggest challenge yet… together we’re aiming to walk and run a massive 1,000km to raise funds for the upcoming season! 💙🏉

We’ll be sharing updates throughout the month, so you can follow our journey, cheer us on, and see how close we’re getting to that 1,000km target!
