CLIC Sargent is a children's cancer charity that cares for the 10 children and young people diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia every day in the UK.

Being a father who has had first hand experience of their services, I can tell you that the support CLIC Sargent offers families during this time is vital.

That's why I'd like to encourage you to take part in the Legends Charity Cup; a national 5-a-side football tournament that raises money to help CLIC Sargent continue caring for children with cancer.

Regional heats are taking place across the UK this September, including Southampton, and the winning team will get the prestigious chance to play against a team of international Legends, captained by Graeme Le Saux at the David Beckham Academy.

It is a great opportunity for all football fans to take part in an exciting competition that raises money for an incredibly worthwhile charity.

So what are you waiting for - sign up today and become a legend yourself by raising money for CLIC Sargent. You can register at www.clicsargent.org.uk/football or by calling 0845 121 2492.
