Youngsters from Chesapeake FC under-13s decided to raise awareness of cancer as part of their fund-raising this season. The team, who play at Chaddesden Park, had already raised hundreds of pounds to fight prostate and testicular cancer and their efforts this year aimed to support causes relating to the conditions – like national charity Everyman. The team – who won their division – raised £1,135 and their efforts included a Yorkshire Three Peaks-sponsored walk and their fathers taking part in Movember. Awareness was also increased at each home game with balloons and flags on display and football club members wearing prostate cancer T-shirts, selling awareness wristbands and handing out leaflets. The team also won a trophy for being the best Chesapeake squad in the club.
