About my charity : PRA Benevolent Fund PRA Benevolent Fund
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 personal message:

This September, I'm joining my former Wasps team mates Lawrence Dallagio and Simon Hunter, and several other lunatics from Pizza Express, ASK and Zizzi restaurants to take part in the challenge of a lifetime, cycling across the Pyrenees for 2 charities:  the PRA Benevolent Fund and Bliss. This entails:

933 kilometre cycle in 8 days

Climbing 20000 metres

Over 30 steep Pyrenees mountain tops

What were we thinking?!

 

Please give your support to these 2 excellent causes by donating anything you can.

THANK YOU!
