We are the Leeds Medics and Dentists Rugby Union Football Club and we are running the distance from New York to San Francisco (2905 miles) as a team, over two weeks to raise money for local charity, Simon on the Streets.

Please visit our instagram page (@LMDRUFC) for daily updates on our progress!

"Simon on the Street exists to provide support to those people in our community, who are often excluded from, or who refuse the intervention of other services, with a view to empower them to change their lives. Adopting a usually long term approach, we achieve this by providing our service users support directly on the street through outreach. Our support is unconditional, all times of day and night. We provide motivation towards accessing a wide range of services to help improve the health of our service users and life choices they make."
