Website Launched

Very proud that as of 1pm today the Official Foundation website was launched. Cannot thank Chris McClenaghan enough for all his efforts on this. There have been plenty of late nights and we have been truly blessed to have such a talented individual working on this. The website will continue to grow as the foundation grows over time and we feel sure that it will be an invaluable tool to keep you up to date with any Foundation news. We hope you like it and here is the official press release that has gone out today:

Adam Stansfield Foundation – Website Kicks-Off

After several months careful planning and preparation the Trustees who include several members of Adams family of the ‘Adam Stansfield Foundation’ are pleased to announce that the eagerly awaited website will go live from 1pm on Friday 4th February 2011. Andy Cole chairman of the Foundation said “We are all very proud and excited by the development of this site and we would also like to thank Chris McClenaghan who has worked so hard with Adams brother Wayne on producing such a professional and high quality website. Along with our Facebook page we will now be able to communicate much easier with our supporters and Adams fans plus we can also get the very important message out to people about bowel cancer”. Patron of the foundation and Premiership Referee Mark Halsey added “This is another step forward for the Foundation; cancer awareness is being promoted through the Foundation whilst offering support to young people playing football”.

The unprecedented support following Adam’s death in August 2010, led to the creation of the Adam Stansfield Foundation. Chosen specifically to recognise aspects of Adam’s life, football and to raise awareness on bowel cancer related issues the aims of the foundation are to help give young people the unique opportunity to develop life skills through the power of football and to assist them in their goals of living the dream. Adams brother Wayne Stansfield who had the initial idea of the Foundation said “Working with Chris and the Trustees has given me a great deal of purpose, being able to focus on this website and the content has allowed me the chance to try and make sense of what happened. The journey to today has had its testing times; I found writing the biography and testimonials very hard. With the launch of this site we can really start to drive things forward and making the foundation work to support youth football and if through promoting bowel cancer awareness we are able to help save one life then we will have achieved something very special”.

The website can be found at http://www.adamstansfieldfoundation.com where visitors to the site will be able to access information on Adams life and career, upcoming fundraising events, media and very soon, the ability to donate online.
