Story
Support the Professional Cricketers Trust this month by taking on 5k May in aid of the players charity.
The national fundraising campaign encourages participants to run, walk, swim, cycle or even roll 5km, before donating £5 to charity and encouraging five friends to do the same.
All proceeds raised from our campaign will go to the Professional Cricketers Trust, supporting PCA members and their immediate families in their times of need.

Not every player is fortunate to have a long, happy and healthy cricket career and that is where the Professional Cricketers' Trust is an invaluable support for all players. They treat everyone as equal and it is heart-warming to see how they take care of their own.
During the first quarter of 2021, the charity has already supported 25 new cases, and a total of 59 individuals are currently receiving assistance, including 29 current players, male and female.
Those figures build on a record-breaking 2020, during which the Trust supported 94 cases in the area of mental health alone, an all-time high figure which brought the total number of individuals supported since 2015 up to 426.
We would encourage you to get as much of the cricket community involved in 5k May as you possibly can, whether its via your dressing room, through reaching out to former teammates, or by sending a message out to members of your local cricket club.
So, please consider going out and completing 5k May in aid of the Trust this month. A small charity like ours really does value your support.
