GlenH79 42 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Good luck to you lads! JFT96. All football supporters should take an interest into the justice campaign. It is atrocious that over 20 years on, justice has still not been given to the poor souls who went to a match to support their team, never to return.

hillsboroughanfieldrun 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 The Hillsborough-Anfield Run team all met up in Liverpool on Sunday 29th January The morning went really well, done some filming for Granada Reports then made our way to Calderstones park to do some more with LFCTV (will be shown sometime w/c 6th February), it was only a little bit cold!! 1pm and it was time for our meeting, we found out that Steve Rotherham MP would be attending. Steve, as you may recall, opened a debate in the House of Commons calling for all papers related to the Hillsborough Disaster to be made public, and for prime minister David Cameron to issue an apology for events leading up to and following the disaster It was a real honour to have Steve attend, and also attending was- Margaret Aspinall and Sue Roberts from the Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG). - Steve Kelly, Kenny Derbyshire and Debi Mcmillan from the Hillsborough Justice Campaign (HJC). If we didn’t know before how important the run was, we sure did now! Moving forward we will all approach this in the most professional way and will look to raise as much money and awareness as is humanly possible for both groups and indeed the 96.Donations at the time of writing are closing in on £700. Can we ask you guys to share our story on any blog, forum and website you have access to please, word of mouth is crucial to making sure we get as much support as we can.http://hillsborough-anfieldrun.co.uk/Thanks allDeanHillsborough-Anfield Run Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsboroughanfieldrun 0 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi folks, less than 3 weeks to the off now.Brief update from our last update:We've had plenty of press, LFCTC and media coverage recently. There's also a preview of a documentary we're doing on the run: http://hillsborough-anfieldrun.co.uk/category/media/'>http://hillsborough-anfieldrun.co.uk/category/media/Brilliant news - Sheffield Wednesday and Liverpool Football CLub are allowing us to start and finish the run on their respective pitches - no mean feat. The run will still be taking place, even though most of you lucky folks will be in London for the FA Cup Semi Final on April 14th. Liverpool has offered that the runners finish the run on the pitch at Anfield, a dream for any Liverpool fan. The run will get to Anfield at approximately 11.30AM on April 14th and Liverpool FC will open the stadium allowing the runners to break the tape on the half way line. There will then will be a half time presentation at the next home game, against West Bromwich Albion, on April 22nd. We thank Liverpool FC for all their help.Donations now stand at near £4,000, including £44 we got for a signed Didi Hamann book that we recently auctioned on Ebay.Please stop by our website. We'd love it if you clicked on our sponsors page, without whose help we wouldn't be a step closer to our goal. http://hillsborough-anfieldrun.co.uk/Thanks all :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
