‘Sir’ David Gray has left many Hibs fans with the greatest footballing memory of their lives. Now in his testimonial year, the Hibernian hero has made it his mission to leave more than memories.
David is challenging fans to join him in cycling the route the Scottish Cup trophy made from Hampden Park to Easter Road Stadium in 2016, after scoring his injury time winner!
For young people with autism, stepping onto a football pitch can feel like entering a world that’s not designed for them. Team United’s programmes help these young people to learn more than just the game – they find confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging on and off the pitch.
Football has provided David with some incredible moments, an opportunity that he passionately believes should be available to absolutely everybody. With your help, we can make that happen.
Help us on our mission to raise £20,000 to ensure the sustainability of this fantastic cause! If you can’t take part in the cycle, please consider donating to the cause.
