Raising money for

RPA 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

Matt Hampson is an inspirational figure. Despite being paralysed from the neck down, after a training accident with England Under-21s, he leads a busy, active life, and remains completely involved with the game he loves. He still requires two fulltime carers, and cannot breathe without the aid of a ventilator. His physiotherapy bill alone comes to around £60,000 a year.

On May the 8th, representatives of all 12 Guinness Premiership clubs will be setting off from Rugby, in Warwickshire, to walk to Twickenham, for the Premiership final, on the 16th. As well as raising money for Matt's Trust Fund, they'll be fundraising for Special Effect - a charity which helps severely disabled children, and of which Matt is a patron - and 12 charities nominated by the clubs.

The Wasps-nominated charity is the Lawrence Dallaglio Foundation. In its first year, it is supporting Cancer Research, in memory of Lawrence's mother Eileen, who died of the disease, at the end of last year. She was a larger than life character, who is greatly missed.
