Tomorrow night Boys from My Shortlees 2012 Team run a 10k for 2 Special Charities for 2 very special reasons.
1st one is for Ayrshire Cancer Support. For our Midfielder Blair Morton running for the Memory of his Mum who he sadly lost to Breast Cancer, he is a Fantastic Boy on and off the park and has went from strength to strength since joining with some incredible goals.
2nd one is Very Special to myself, ARFID Autism for my wonderful young nephew Kerr, his brother Jack who plays in the Team also is running for his young brother. Kerr has faced massive challenges since being diagnosed to be honest with a form of Autism that we as a family didnt no much about or isnt spoke or taught enough about. With Wee Kerr now having his feeding tube fitted he has made some significant improvements but still a mountain to climb with his mum and dad overcame so much to this point and still learning more and more each day.
My Team as spoken about before will wear the ARFID symbol on our new strips this year and will post as many updates as we can on Kerr to hopefully get the word out more on ARFID to hopefully help other parents that maybe haven't picked up or scared to ask for any help with there own child.
Also running we have our Captain, Kyle, Midfielders Junior, Liam and Tyler
These young boys have taken it upon themselves to do this and support both Charities, very rare to get young boys like this these days and for me as there coach couldn't be more proud of them.
So I ask, anybody, no matter how small a donation but if you can help at all to push there totals up before the run tomorrow night then please do so. They have raised a great amount already but a believe we can do better.
