At CHARS Youth FC, it's not just about scoring goals; it's about displaying the true spirit of teamwork and dedication both on and off the pitch. One young star, Finley Thomson, goalkeeper of the u9 Yellows, is proving just that by going the extra mile—well, 500 meters to be exact—off the pitch to support his team as they prepare for ESF 2024.
A Remarkable Initiative: Swimming for a Cause
Finley Thomson, the talented goalkeeper with lightning-fast reflexes, has taken on a remarkable initiative to raise funds for his team's ESF 2024 campaign. Throughout the month of November, Finley will swim an impressive 500 meters, showcasing not only his prowess on the football pitch but also his determination to make a difference.
Proud Parents: Alex and Chrissy Thomson
Alex and Chrissy Thomson, Finley's parents, couldn't be prouder of their son's endeavor. "We are incredibly proud of Finley," says Alex with a beaming smile. "His commitment to both his team and this fundraising effort is truly inspiring."
Chrissy adds, "Seeing Finley set such a positive example for his teammates is heartwarming. He's not just a talented goalkeeper but also a caring and dedicated young man."
Finley's younger brother Jamie couldn't help but add some light-hearted humour to the mix. "I tried to swim like Finley in the pool once," he chuckles, "but I think I just made a big splash! Finley is my hero."
