Story

Every £10 in sponsorship is a chance to win a personalised signed Maro Itoje England shirt. He has been kind enough to agree to sign a short however you like! £10 is 1 entry, £20 is 2 entries and so on! Great chances of a win so please pass this on! Make sure you leave your name so I can contact you if you win. We will raffle at £5000!

1578km /110 miles a day for 9 days whilst camping!

On a few levels I have been lucky, playing rugby for a living was a dream and allowed me to have some unique experiences and make some great friends. Ric, myself and my dad are all looking to complete this amazing challenge to raise some vital funds!

Unfortunately, there are some who get seriously injured when playing, this is where the RFU Injured Players Foundations comes in. They provide immediate and lifelong support to rugby players who sustain a catastrophic spinal cord or traumatic brain injury and also fund research into the causes and outcomes of serious injury, identifying the best ways to prevent and treat it. Have a look at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUpoH3CJTrXLEToJ17iDBMw to see some real life examples of how your money will help. 

  • £30 helps and injured player access physio support to help their recovery.
  • £100 makes you a legend!

I am fortunate to the able to do the ride so please give generously to aid those who get injured playing a sport we all love.

If you want to see what we are doing have a look here - https://www.rideacrossbritain.com/route/classic-9-day/ it is a long way and hopefully this will give you a flavour!

Keep your eyes peeled as ill also be raffling some great prizes as time progresses!

As a bonus, I have already completed a ride outside the M25, 315km in one day! That was properly tough so your donations are doubly appreciated.
