FC United supporter, Carol Wheeler, is confident of charming a dozen of her colleagues at L’oreal in Bury into participating in the October 21st FC Minithon in Manchester, raising funds for the club and our partner charity ACE.
L’oreal are also providing prizes for the event, so, to win the male make up set and at the same time help the club, please register here

Carol became involved in the club because of the benefits to her community in the Moston area. Carol says: "I went to an M40 meeting where someone from the club’s partner charity, ACE Centre North, was speaking. I was impressed so I suggested that our L’oreal branch adopt ACE as one of its supported charities. I nominated ACE and a representative came and did a presentation, so it was agreed and we should be donating over £3,000 to ACE at the end of the year. FC’s Minithon was also mentioned and I am pretty confident we already have eight of our people running or crawling in October."
A supporter in Trafford found a pain free-way to raise funds for the Minithon. She placed a small box on reception in her workplace and emailed all the staff informing them that she was participating in the Minithon for two good causes (ACE and FC - the supporters’ club), so would they please put their slummy coins in the box as they left work. She raised £74.
