Charlie's Promise Fundraiser

On the 1st October, a number of industry colleagues and I are cycling from London to Paris to raise money for individual charities of our choice.

I’m raising money for Charlie’s Promise whose mission is to educate young people about knife crime and its consequences. The charity was started by Charlie’s Dad, Martin Cosser, after 17 year old Charlie (a Milford Pumas Player), went to a house party in a Sussex village and was stabbed multiple times. Heartbreakingly, Charlie succumbed to his injuries 3 days later (though harrowing, I really recommend you read the account of events on the website). 

The charity started in Charlie’s name is dedicated to helping the fight against the rising issue of knife crime in the UK by raising awareness of the dangers of both carrying and using a knife. If it’s possible, it’s made even more poignant from me, as Charlie played football for and his family were involved with, Milford Pumas YFC, a club at which I’ve coached at for almost 20 years.

If you could help this very worthy cause in any small way, Charlie’s Promise and I would be immensely grateful. Updates on our progress will be on my Instagram account and messages of support and encouragement will, I am sure, help us along the way.
