Torquay United AFC would like to express its thanks to everyone who purchased a raffle ticket in support of mental health charity Mind’s 115 Stadium Challenge.
Following the untimely passing of Popsider Craig Robinson, United supporters Steve Campbell and Shane Burton wanted to do something positive in his memory to help raise awareness of mental health, as well as promoting the amazing work Mind does. Steve and Shane spent last week travelling the country, in a challenge which saw them visit 115 football grounds from across the top five divisions.
Originally scheduled to finish the challenge ahead of United’s game against King’s Lynn on Saturday, the pair finished ahead of time, arriving at Plainmoor on Friday evening, providing the pair with the opportunity to take in the match as guests of the Club, where former United favourite Guy Branston was on hand to congratulate Steve and Shane on their amazing efforts.
The duo had already raised over £3000 via their JustGiving page and the Club was proud to assist them further with its third charity raffle this season. Supporters wishing to view their recent journey can do so via the Mind 115 Stadium Challenge Facebook page, HERE.
The winner of the signed 2021/22 shirt has now been contacted, and our next community fundraising raffle will be announced soon!
