Season › 2012-13 › News “We're Everton Aren't We” Cycle Challenge Lyndon Lloyd , 16 January, 0comments | Jump to most recent Everton FC is embarking on a new Charity Challenge for the 2012/13 season with a group of people cycling from Sunderland's Stadium of Light to Goodison Park this April. This team of people have dedicated their lives to Everton Football Club for as long as each of them can remember and who live and breathe the Club will ride 202 miles over 4 days with the aim of raising a staggering £50,000. The funds will be split equally and immediately reinvested into the vital work of Everton in the Community and the Everton Former Players Foundation (EFPF), sister charities of Everton FC. Everton in the Community is an award-winning registered charity that delivers a range of programmes to promote health, education, social inclusion and equality of opportunity across Merseyside using the power of sport. During the last year alone, they have provided on-going developmental opportunities for over 30,000 participants and with support from their loyal fan base they can continue to build a stronger, more active community presence. The monies raised by the EFPF go towards the financial and medical assistance of former Everton players who did not have the luxury of today's inflated wages. Many players of the past that gave us so much pleasure and that we idolised still work today despite being due well-earned retirement. Some players bear the physical scars of giving their all in the Royal Blue Jersey, and the Foundation contributes where it can towards medical assistance that improves the lives of these heroes of days gone by. As well as a tailored fundraising programme which will help the team reach their ambitious target, the team will receive an exclusive fitness and training plan which will include diet and nutrition advice from first team coaches, they will also have the opportunity to attend a personalised training session will take place at the state of the art training complex, Finch Farm, this will help them get prepared for the big challenge. The team will also have a ‘Hero's Return' at Goodison Park on 27th April when Everton take on Fulham.
