Raising money for

PRA Benevolent Fund

Charity Registration No. 1113160

The Professional Rugby Players Association (PRA) Benevolent Fund provides support for players who have retired from professional rugby due to serious injury or illness. Beneficiaries include Matt Hampson and Alistair Hignell who have shown tremendous courage in their battles with their injuries and illness. We have also posthumously helped the Nick Duncombe Memorial Trust and Jarrod Cunningham, the former London Irish full back who passed away in 2007 from Motor Neurones aged just 39.

My story

Stars from Bristol Rugby will be making a tackle with a difference at the end of this season to raise vital funds for charity.
Ten current and former players will be swapping the pitch for the water for their latest challenge - taking on the second longest fjord in the world. Over five grueling days, they will kayak 180 kilometers down the Sogenfjord in Norway - from the small town of Gudvangen to the point where the fjord meets the North Sea.
Having climbed the highest mountains in the UK in 24 hours last year for the Three Peaks Challenge, the adventure-seekers were inspired to take on an even tougher test of endurance which gets underway on May 11.
Money raised from their epic journey will be split between PROPS - a charity helping disabled children in the Bristol area and the PRA Benevolent Fund - a charity supporting past and present professional rugby players in times of serious injury, illness or hardship, and in furthering their education.
