Make content about: James dribbled a football 2,000 miles
After losing his dad as a boy, James dribbled a football 2,000 miles across deserts and mountains to support hospice care.
This story
James lost his father at the age of eleven, after his dad spent his final weeks being cared for at a hospice. Years later, he dribbled a football 2,000 miles from Morocco to Staffordshire over 86 days, braving temperatures over 40 degrees and mountain landslides. Having raised £129,000 across multiple endurance challenges, he was named a regional fundraiser of the year ahead of a national awards ceremony.
