Fundraising walk in memory of Jacob Schilt

[Fat Langers]

I got the walk mentioned on Eagle Radio, based in Guildford, on the breakfast show.

Hopefully a bit more publicity and some interest which might lead to more donations!

See you tomorrow at 9.30

Top man thank you!

Matt Jackson was there 'officially' so sure there will be plenty later. There will be footage on the big screen before kick off too.

Just a quick one to say thank you for all of your support for this. There has been endless planning, paperwork, insurances, favours and help. It all came together perfectly today. The walk was a massive success with money still coming in.
And the clubs tributes were amazing. I feel very privileged to of been a part of today.
To all of you that played a part, donated or walked, thank you! Without you we couldn't of made today what it was.

Just so proud to have been part of it.

It truly proves how a football club can bind a community together. I've never been more BHA than today.

I was on the walk today. Certainly one of the highlights of my time as a Brighton fan.

I have never been more proud of my club than today in over 40 years

I really could not believe my eyes as I came up onto the airfield and looked back to see the trail of people wrapping right around the bend in the road...

I've just got home from what I can only describe as a tiring and emotional day. Well done to BHAFC and all involved for a very emotional tribute to Jacob and Matt. I know a lot of people dislike Brighton for becoming too corporate and out of touch but what they've done today is above and beyond anything anyone could have dreamed of. I'm so very glad I was a part of something so special and not ashamed to say I cried my heart out during the tributes to all of the victims who lost their lives that day. Well done [MENTION=5978]bhafc[/MENTION] and @REMF for such a fantastic job. Now sitting on the sofa and reflecting about it all. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love our club and want a win but today the points didn't really matter...

Mike Langridge (@fatlangers) and Brett deserve a massive thumbs up for being able to arrange such an event at such short notice. Everything went fantastically well. Ms Spongy started the walk with little Ms Spongy in high spirits but was beginning to flag towards the end through Sompting village and to quote her "I think my hips have turned to dust". It has been a pleasure to be a part of something so special and shows what a force and support charities such as the REMF can muster. I had the pleasure of joining the REMF team and families in the box to watch the game and I can honestly say I don't remember a lot of it. Today was more of a remembrance and the result didn't really matter. It's about more than a game.#proud

Another one here proud to have been on the walk. Wouldn't have missed it.

And me too cried my eyes out throughout the pre match. So sad. So proud

What a day. Thanks to everyone involved.
