Hibernian Community Foundation has announced a remarkable fundraising initiative spearheaded by dedicated Hibs supporter, Cameron Coull.
Cameron will embark on an ambitious challenge to cycle to every Hibernian Ladies away game during the 2024/25 season, aiming to cover a total distance of up to 1500 kilometeres!
The incredible effort will see Cameron raise substantial funds for the Hibernian Community Foundation, a charity that has become close to his heart following his love for Hibernian F.C.
Initially, football was just a casual interest for Cameron, maintained through updates from his father. However, this changed significantly after the Covid-19 pandemic.
“When I attended Hibs vs St. Johnstone in 2022, which was also the first VAR match, my casual interest transformed into a dedicated support. Since then, I have become a regular supporter at both home and away matches,” he explained.
Cameron’s dedication extended quickly to the Hibernian Women’s team with this growing interest aligning perfectly with his upcoming fundraising efforts.
Driven by a desire to give back, Cameron has been actively involved with the Hibernian Community Foundation, contributing to their impactful programs.
“Over the past few months, I have been helping out at some of the Foundation’s Lunch Clubs, which provide meals and companionship to those in need,” he noted.
This engagement further fuelled his commitment to support the foundation through his cycling challenge.
His cycling journey to each away game is not only a fundraiser but also a personal fitness challenge.
“As a personal desire to get fitter and really challenge myself, I have decided to cycle to every away match of the Hibernian Women’s team.
“Covering a possible 1500km over the year, my aim is to beat the team bus to each ground, and in doing so, I hope to raise money for the Hibernian Community Foundation.” he exclaimed.
Hibernian Community Foundation is immensely grateful for Cameron’s dedication and looks forward to the success of this unique and inspiring fundraiser.
Supporters are encouraged to follow his journey and contribute to the cause, helping to enhance the foundation’s ability to provide vital services to the community.
