A charity match played between an 'Over 30's' team and 'Under 30's' team from the Mid Cheshire Everton Supporters Club at Goodison Park last Friday has raised £1,500 for Everton in the Community as well as £500 for Support Dogs.

The Under 30 team won 6-4 but every man on the pitch said their dream of playing on the hallowed turf had come true that night.

Support Dogs is a national charity based in Sheffield, who train dogs to transform lives, including people with physical disabilities, children with autism and adults with epilepsy.

Their dogs are trained to provide a 100% reliable warning between 15 to 45 minutes prior to an oncoming seizure. They enable their owner to find a place of safety and maintain their dignity.

The security of having this warning is life changing. It facilitates greater independence and the ability to live a more active life. It may also help to prevent the 400 or so deaths each year caused by accidents following an epileptic seizure.

As well as the Supporters Club's help, they also have clients that are Evertonians whose dogs even wear Blue and White.
