After successfully finishing the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon last month, decided to do the Leeds 10k this Sunday!

This time, I'm raising money for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation who organise many community-based projects, working with primary and secondary schools, community Rugby League clubs, local organisations and individuals to change lives through sport.

My association with the foundation is as part of their Wheelchair Development team, which began at the start of this year. As the foundation gave me the opportunity to play rugby again for the first time in over a decade, raising money for them to continue their life-changing projects is the least I can do.

Understand many of you recently donated to my marathon fundraiser, so grateful for any support and donations!

Below are some words from Bob Bowman, Leeds Rhinos Foundation CEO about this fundraising event and the projects the foundation delivers:

“Run with the Rhinos is one of the highlights of our yearly calendar. It brings together all sections of our charity including trustees, staff, our supporters as well as the people who benefit from our projects.

“Not only is our charity committed to supporting the development of the game with our work in schools and clubs but the scope of our delivery now reaches much further, with some life changing projects across our community.  The In Touch support group helps those living with dementia and the Offload mental fitness project is having a huge impact.

“The Boost physical activity programme is helping adults kick start and maintain healthier lifestyles and the ground-breaking Tackle It programme continues to provide support for survivors of domestic abuse alongside education courses to help lower re-offending rates. We are also now proud to be running Leeds Rhinos Learning Disability, Physical Disability and Wheelchair teams and money raised will mean we can continue to support them and help people live out their sporting dreams.”
