Charity 10 Mile Walk

The JFA are taking on a TEN MILE walk in aid of two charities, close to the community and the association in the shape of Farleigh Hospice and DEBRA.

The walk will take place on 13 April 2024 ahead of the Jammers’ home game against New Salamis. Those taking part will start at the old home of Tiptree United, Chapel Road and will finish at the Maldon Stadium.

A online, JustGiving page has been created with an initial aim for raising a minimum of £750 for each charity. Fundraising plans and events will be shared over the coming weeks and months, as those taking part prepare for the challenge.
