This is a fantastic opportunity for our local community (especially children and young people who love football!) to see an inspirational sporting icon and cheer her on as she reaches the end of a huge day.
If you can, please go along and show your support. Let’s give Jill a brilliant County Durham welcome and help create a really special atmosphere for an amazing cause!
