Islanders in Guernsey are fundraising £120,000 for an operation to save a young boy's leg.
Ten-year-old Anthony McMahon was born with abnormal hip joints and short legs.
His right leg has been successfully corrected, but Guernsey's Health Department have refused to pay for operation on his left leg.
20 teams have signed up for a 12 hour six-a-side football marathon that is happening in Jersey to raise money for Anthony McMahon.
The ten-year-old needs an operation to save his leg, but it will cost £120,000.
36 teams are needed in total for the event.
Guernsey's health department, who have paid for a previous operation, will not pay for this one.
Seven years ago Anthony was the first person ever within the UK to undergo Super Hip and Super Knee reconstructive surgery correcting deformity of his right leg.
Now he needs his left hip reconstructing.
If it is not done, he could lose his leg.
The football challenge is aiming to fund the surgery for Anthony, who has a great passion for playing football.
The weekend event coincides with International Pride Month and the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
The scheme has been backed by the island's Lieutenant-Governor, and is the first of its kind in the Channel Islands.
