KELSALL AND MYERS GREET CHARITY WALKERS

🎟 NEXT HOME GAME: SAT 1ST APRIL v MANCHESTER STORM - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟

The Nottingham Panthers forwards Matthew Myers and Jordan Kelsall were on hand to meet charity walkers at the Motorpoint Arena today.

The Notts County Foundation, MenCap Me Time and Trent Bridge Community Trust’s Forget Me Notts joined together for a sponsored walk fundraiser around some of Nottingham’s iconic sporting venues.

Vicki, a MenCap user, initiated this event as she wanted to raise funds for groups she is involved in through doing something exercised-based to raise awareness of mental health, while also benefiting her local community by completing the task with her peers.

The walk started at Portland Centre and visited Meadow Lane, the City Ground, Trent Bridge cricket ground and then along London Road to the Motorpoint Arena.

The total distance equates to 6.8 kilometres, which was chosen to represent the approximate number of 68 million people in the United Kingdom that live with some form of disability or health condition

Vicki chose the sporting venues to be the main part of the charitable walk because she is a huge Nottingham Panthers and Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club supporter and is a user of Notts County Foundation’s Portland Centre, so felt that it would be great to include some of her real passions.

The walkers were met by Jordan and Matthew and many thanks to the Motorpoint Arena who provided a drinks station for the thirsty fundraisers.
