The event in Southport is to raise money to create memorials at the three schools attended by the three young girls tragically killed at a Taylor Swift themed dance event in Southport on 29 July 2024. It is hoped that the money raised will see memorial gardens created in the grounds at each school and also see some ‘talking benches’ installed.

The event is taking place at the Dunes Leisure Centre, Victoria Way, Southport PR8 1RX (20 mins walk from Southport Station) with a kick off time of 10:00. You can help support this event by donating on a Just Giving page set up by the walking football veterans on this link https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/southportveterans24hourmarathon or by clicking on the QR code below:
