Story
Alzheimer’s Society is the chosen charity for our team as it’s close to a few of the boys hearts, Myself in particular.
My grandad, Ernest sadly passed away December 2017 after suffering with dementia for 5 years, my Nan Celia, and Mum Carolyn being his primary carers.
My Nanna Beryl had dementia for 7 years before passing away in her Llanelli care home in March 2020, my Bampa Mike had the disease for years and unfortunately passed away January 2023.
This charity is a wonderful cause, Alzheimer’s affects so many families worldwide and my family know exactly the affects and how hard it can be to deal with.
As a team we will be chuffed to make any positive difference we can, especially whilst playing rugby, the game we all love.👶🏻🏉🍼
