Road to Brazil 2013

I'm currently recovering after catching a little bit too much sun in Newcastle yesterday.

I will start with the StreetGames awards in Manchester. Huge congratulations to Tom Harley who picked up three awards including National Young Volunteer of the Year. A big well done to all nominated and the Sport North Tyneside team for winning team of the year.

Since our first Brazil Day things have got a little crazy so you will have to bear with me. Firstly we hosted a 5 a side tournament 'Road to Brazil 2013' which was brilliant. We managed to raise £585 for the project with 80 participants and 12 teams taking part. The weather was super and our eventual winners Ivory Toast got a lovely trophy they could show off at work.

The city hall of Curitiba have been in touch and we featured on their official World Cup website. The mayor Gustavo Fruet is following us on Twitter. Maluco! Big time! Hopefully this is the start of a great time in Brazil developing some amazing projects.

We have an interview planned with a newspaper in Curitiba so those in the city please keep an eye out. I think it is called the daily sport newspaper.

We released our main video which  you can watch on:

This is our home city of Newcastle upon Tyne and what the project is about.

We have two more Brazil Days next week so it is going to be busy. Our fundraising has reached around £3000 so we are doing well.
