The wife of Everton FA Cup winner Matt Jackson will be at Goodison Park on Boxing Day to raise vital funds for the Marie Curie Hospice in Woolton.
Julie Jackson lost best friend Mandy King, an Everton Season Ticket holder, to cancer last year, while both Matt and Julie remain close to the family of Matt's late former Blues teammate Gary Ablett.
For the past 12 months, Julie has been striving to raise awareness and funds for charity in memory of Mandy and Gary with a series of gruelling physical challenges, as well as a host of fundraising events.
In May, Julie scaled the 5,895m Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and is now preparing for an intense jungle trek in Sri Lanka in 2015.
Supporters arriving at Goodison Park for Friday's game will be able to find Julie and other fundraisers in and around the stadium with donation buckets.
We will also be using our official Twitter and Facebook pages to let you know where you'll be able to find Julie.
As well as this, fans can donate at any time by visiting Julie's JustGiving page here or by texting MKJJ70 £1 to 70070.
"I lost an amazing friend in Mandy and that why it's a charity that's really close to my heart," said Julie. "All the proceeds are going to the hospice in Woolton, so local people right here in Liverpool can continue receiving the fantastic support and care that they need.
"If every fan coming to the game could donate just £1 we could raise £40,000 in one day - that's the power that football has."
A real test of bravery, Julie's trek through Sri Lanka will see her tackle all sorts of unfriendly critters, including spiders, insects and snakes, as well as the humid, challenging and often claustrophobic environment of the jungle.
Marie Curie receives only 45 per cent of its running costs from the government each year with every other penny arriving through donations and fundraising.
They provide care and support for over 40,000 terminally ill people along with their families in the UK each year and are leaders in research into better ways of caring for people with terminal illnesses.
Julie will be taking part in more fundraising events throughout 2015 but please give generously on Boxing Day if you see her en route to the game!
