STAFF from Myprotein – part of the Northwich-based the Hut Group – has raised more than £44,000 for charity after completing two gruelling 24-hour endurance challenges.

The Soccer 24 and Treadmill Challenge, which was held in Reddish, was in aid of Street Soccer Academy, a charity that delivers long-term positive change to the lives of isolated people, and those who are struggling to get their lives back on track.

For the first time, the Myprotein Football Team ended the 24 hours undefeated. The team won 24 games out of 24, netting a staggering 446 goals.

The full list of players are: Andy Duckworth, Andy Bott, Ben Morris, Alex Whitfield, Daniel Holehouse, Nathan Southern, Ashley Wilson, Chris Lunn, Sean Gilraine, Jack Maullin, Mark Howorth, Nicholas Perriam, Alex Rinn, Sam Williams, Scott Taylor, Frederico Costa, Neil Okeke, Joel Duggan and Giorgio Bonuomo.

Fitbit trackers showed players, on average, covered a distance of 42km – more than a marathon.

Strong opposition was put forward by teams representing AO.com, Axon Moore, HSBC, Bring Digital, CIS Insurance and various Saturday league teams.

Not to be outdone, the Treadmill Challenge was also successfully completed with those taking part showing great determination to run non-stop through the entire 24 hours.

Full list of runners are: Jenna Pinnington , Sophie Pugh, Chris Griffiths, Dan Waterhouse, Dan Pilkington, Kirsty Friend , Terese Hulls, Martyn Plant, Abi Testa, Fraser Courts, Lizzy Demetriou, Stacey McDermott, George Sharrock, Charles Oxlade, Hira Malik, Maria Akbani, Neo Okeke

The amount raised currently stands at £44,808.00, smashing last year’s record of £30,000.
