KICK for LIFE: Football Marathon 101

Here's an interesting event happening this coming December 2 to 6 2014 called KICK for LIFE: Football Marathon 101. It's a Guinness World Record attempt to play 101 hours of non-stop football this Dec 2-6 at the San Roque Parish Football Field, Subangdaku Mandaue City. This event is not only a world-record attempt but most of all it aims to raise awareness for children with Congenital Heart Defects (CHD).

Let it ECHO, a non-profit org, is the sole-beneficiary of this event. Kids with CHD usually require life-saving open-heart surgeries which are very costly (average of P800,000 PER surgery). There are around 30 kids who have asked help from our org and we need your help to help them raise some funds to address the surgery cost for each child.

This campaign was launched officially last September 29 at the Ayala Active Zone, Cebu City. United Kingdom set a 72-hour football marathon in May 2013 which was just recently bested over by France with 73 hours although there's no official announcement yet. The group will opt to break that record and raise the bar higher with 101 hours of football game to be held in San Roque Football Field in Mandaue City- the neighbor of Cebu City and part of the Cebu metropolis.
