POST # 1 - KICK-OFF

This isn’t just about the game. In September, I’ll be facing off to support War Child and stand up for the 473 million children who are living in conflict zones. π That’s one in every five kids globally facing unimaginable challenges.
For over 25 years, War Child has been changing lives, providing education, protection, and hope to those who need it the most. β€οΈ Now, I’m excited to do my part and I hope that you will support me.
Please donate – every contribution brings us closer to a world where children can play, learn, and live without fear.
