The Try Babies - Charity Rugby 7s Team

Ieuan Mainwaring is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
In memory of Ernest Neil
At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Alzheimer’s Society is the chosen charity for our team as it’s close to a few of the boys hearts, Myself in particular.

My grandad, Ernest sadly passed away December 2017 after suffering with dementia for 5 years, my Nan Celia, and Mum Carolyn being his primary carers.

My Nanna Beryl had dementia for 7 years before passing away in her Llanelli care home in March 2020, my Bampa Mike had the disease for years and unfortunately passed away January 2023.

This charity is a wonderful cause, Alzheimer’s affects so many families worldwide and my family know exactly the affects and how hard it can be to deal with.

As a team we will be chuffed to make any positive difference we can, especially whilst playing rugby, the game we all love.👶🏻🏉🍼
