Young Hero Bohdi Set to Take on Towbar Express Stadium Mile

Young Hero Bohdi Set to Take on Towbar Express Stadium Mile

Liam Ryder24 Apr - 14:00

Whitby Town supporters will be treated to a truly inspiring moment ahead of Saturday’s fixture with Cleethorpes Town.

This comes as eight-year-old Bohdi Cartwright continues his remarkable journey around the country’s football grounds.

The young football enthusiast from Redcar is undertaking an extraordinary challenge: running a mile at 100 different stadiums to raise both funds and awareness for a cause close to his heart. His efforts are centred on supporting charities and highlighting Cockayne Syndrome, a condition that affects his two older brothers.

Bohdi’s 100 Miles, 100 Clubs campaign began earlier this year and has already captured the imagination of clubs and supporters across the region. The challenge is as demanding as it is inspiring - each mile requires multiple laps of a pitch, with the determined youngster pressing on regardless of weather conditions.

Driven by a love of football and a desire to make a difference, Bohdi’s journey reflects the very best of the game’s community spirit. A regular player himself, he balances his passion for football with a maturity well beyond his years, taking on a challenge that many adults would find daunting.

Saturday will see Bohdi take centre stage at the Towbar Express Stadium, completing another mile ahead of kick-off. It promises to be a special moment for players, staff and supporters alike, offering a reminder that football’s impact stretches far beyond the pitch.

Whitby Town Football Club is proud to support Bohdi’s efforts and encourages supporters to get behind him as he continues his incredible journey. His determination, courage and selflessness embody the spirit of non-league football and serve as an inspiration to all.

Supporters attending Saturday’s game are invited to show their appreciation and help raise awareness for a truly worthwhile cause as Bohdi continues his run towards an extraordinary 100-mile milestone, commencing at 2:40pm.
