Help the CFML help others

I ask for your support for the daughter of a long time Bradford City fan and CFML subscriber as she prepares for a

London-Paris charity bike ride. Emily has also produced a wonderful recipe book which is available to buy from Ebay

(link below). It is a perfect (late) Mothers Day present, birthday present or a stocking filler (admit it -

Christmas is just around the corner).

Please forward this information to your friends, post on your myspace, twitter or facebook page and lets all help

Emily raise money for this excellent cause.

McCALL AND WINDASS GET IT WHITE
By Sports Desk (T&A)

Former Bradford City players helped raise over £1,700 for charity as they
exchanged their football boots for cricket spikes.

Included were current Bantams boss Stuart McCall and former striker Dean
Windass, who donned their whites to raise money for City assistant Wayne
Jacobs' charity One in a Million, which helps under-privileged children in
Bradford.

Undercliffe Cricket Club, who organise a charity event every year, hosted
the match which saw their Cavaliers tackle City's past stars. Event
organiser Mark Gilliver, owner of D&R Sports in Bradford, was "very happy"
to see the event raise £1,771 for the charity.

He said: "It was a good day all round. We made more than we expected as we
were aiming for a grand.

"It was busy right from the start as about 450 people turned up to watch.
There was an auction after the game too when Jakes was presented with the
cheque."

Although the game was played in good spirits and for a good cause, both
teams wanted to win and tied on 187 runs each. McCall scored 12, while
Windass got 20 and also picked up two wickets.

BANTAMS FAN TO RUN FOR THE BURNS UNIT
Posted on: Tue 22 Sep 2009

Life-long Bantams supporter Paul Firth is to participate in the City of
Salford 10K run in aid of the Burns Research Unit.

The event will take place on Sunday 27 September 2009 and Paul is hoping to
raise much money as possible for the charity.

Any City supporters wanting to help Paul raise funds towards the unit or
would like to know more, can do so by visiting.

To give himself further motivation to complete the distance, Paul is
promising to only claim half of his sponsorship money should he finish the
run in over an hour.

Paul has already raised over £2,000 for the Burns Unit in the past through
sales of his book - "Four Minutes to Hell - The Story of the Bradford City
Fire".

I completed the Great North Run on Sunday and am still collecting my pledges ... over £400 for the Burns Unit so

far; www.justgiving.com/BobMoran provides more info and a mechanism for you to donate!

Thanks to those who are on this list that supported me, it meant a great deal and I'll send some pictures through

to you when I get chance. My time was 1 hour 56 minutes and 28 seconds, (without breaking the journey).

BRADFORD CITY FANS URGED TO VOTE FOR TROPHY TOT
Posted on: Wed 23 Sep 2009

Bradford City fans are being urged to show their support for a little one of
their own, by voting online for one of their budding fans to win a
Johnstone's Paint Trophy award.

The trophy has been asking supporters to help create a 'young and hungry'
fan base by launching an appeal to find its official 'Trophy Tot' for the
2009/10 season.

Scores of youngsters entered the contest and Johnstone's has now shortlisted
eight little fans, including Sienna Pugh who is on the company's official
website for people to vote on.

It is hoped that Bantams fans will now show their support by clicking on:

http://www.johnstonespainttrophy.com and voting for Sienna.

The overall winner will receive a £50 voucher for the clubshop of the team
they support and a Johnstone's Paint Trophy goody bag, filled with
Johnstone's Paint Trophy memorabilia.

The competition has been created in an attempt to find some of the nation's
cutest and youngest football fans, in a light hearted effort to engage with
Football League clubs up and down the country.

It has also coincided with the launch of the trophy's new enhanced website,
which has been redesigned to engage with more football fans than ever.

Johnstone's Paint Trophy sponsorship coordinator Sally Binns said: "Sienna
was shortlisted as she looks an absolute picture, and appears to be a very
big supporter, despite her age!

"It was so tough getting the entries down to a final eight, as every little
tot was so cute. We thank everyone for their entries and hope people will
start voting for our overall Trophy Tot.

"We're always keen to interact with supporters of the Johnstone's Paint
Trophy and we thought this would be another fun and colourful way of doing
so."

The voting will take place from September 16th to October 7th and a winner
will be announced once voting has closed.

From johnny yen - jyen2@hotmail.com

I'm doing the Horsforth 10k on Sunday morning as part of my rehab/comeback into jogging, ultimately doing the Brass

monkeys half marathon in January at York.

I haven't ran competitively for nearly two years since having a knee operation, the last being the Blackpool half

marathon in Feb2007 where I did 1hr 33mins.

Although the Burns unit is a charity dear to me, I've always raised money for the Heart foundation, as heart

disease is prevalent in my family.

From  "Paul Cook"  paul@cookpaul.orangehome.co.uk     

I'm aiming at doing the Brass Monkeys in January too as well as possibly the Bradford City 10mile Run next month

ahead of next year's inaugural Bradford Marathon with the intention of raising money for the Burns Unit. I was

going to do the Bradford Marathon for the Burns Unit because of the 25th anniversary anyway, but having seen the

unit needs money it's given me double reason to do so.
