LFC FoundationLifelong Reds demonstrate lasting impact of Run to Anfield
For lifelong Reds Harry, 86, and Jimmy, 82, taking part in the 2025 LFC Foundation Run to Anfield 5K, was about much more than crossing the finish line.
Residents at Thornton Lodge Residential Care home, Harry and Jimmy joined the LFC Foundation event alongside fellow residents and staff, raising more money than any other individual participant on the day.
Their efforts did not go unnoticed. After hearing their story, the LFC Foundation invited the group to Anfield for an exclusive stadium tour, where they were welcomed by club legend Ian Callaghan, Liverpool FC’s all-time record appearance holder – you can watch their story above.
By taking part, the care home helped raise vital funds for LFC Foundation programmes across the Liverpool City Region, including initiatives that tackle social isolation and help people stay connected within their communities.
Since completing the challenge, both Harry and Jimmy have also become regular attendees at LFC Foundation Red Neighbours sessions, which actively benefits from the funds they raised.
Their story is a reminder of the impact every pound raised can have. With registrations open for Run to Anfield 2026, supporters have the chance to create their own memories while helping the club’s official charity to continue its work across the region.
This year's event takes place on Saturday, 1 August and will once again will see participants take on a scenic 5K route through Stanley Park before finishing at Anfield and entering the stadium bowl for photo opportunities. A 1K fun run will also return for children, families and those looking for a shorter distance.
