Our cycle round Scotland for Hearts & Balls · 28 April 2009

Hearts and Balls role is to assist catastrophically injured rugby players and their families by offering financial support and advice on fundraising.

Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

Marc and I hit the big 30 recently and have decided to cycle 1000 miles round Scotland in 9 days, not only to challenge ourselves but to raise money for the Hearts & Balls Charity.

"Hearts and Balls was conceived in 1999 when a player from the Lismore Rugby Club in Edinburgh suffered a serious spinal injury that left him paralysed. Having run a highly successful appeal, Lismore decided to widen its support to cover other players impacted by serious injury or illness. Thus, Hearts and Balls came into being, with the aim of ‘helping rugby help its own’. Since then, we’ve helped numerous players and families."

This Charity is close to our Hearts due to the injury of my close friend Jonny Mitchell, when Captain of North Berwick suffered a serious spinal injury in the first scrum of the club's game at Hawick Linden.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Hearts & Balls Charitable Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!

We thank you in advance for your kind support,
Rob & Marc (Bozz & Para)
