On the morning of Saturday April 15th 1989, thousands of Liverpool fans set off for an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough, the home of Sheffield Wednesday FC. 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives that day and many hundreds of others were badly injured. For Liverpool fans, the number 96 is etched in the collective memory alongside other numbers such as 5 and 18. The 96 have become an intrinsic part of Liverpool Football Club. In the intervening years, Liverpool fans have never let the world forget the 96 despite many injustices and setbacks. And until some comfort is brought to the families of the 96 and until someone is called to account for the deaths of these 96 souls, Liverpool fans will continue to remind the world what happened that dreadful spring day and since then. Dominic Williams is one of those fans who will not let the 96 or their families be forgotten. And so, with five others, they will run 76 miles in less than 3 days from Hillsborough to Anfield, arriving just before the kick off against Fulham FC on the morning of April 14th. The six runners will be raising funds along the route and online for the families of the Hillsborough Disaster and to help those who would keep the focus on the continuing quest for justice for the 96 victims. The team is honoured to have the support of the Hillsborough Families Support Group (HFSG) and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign (HJC) and is confident that they will receive huge support from all Liverpool fans.

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/ 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 :-) |
