Story

Former England rugby international and Spinal Research Patron, Jason Leonard OBE, is heading up our new rugby fundraising initiative called Tackling Paralysis. He is calling for everybody within the rugby community or with a passion for the game to get involved.

Help us raise awareness for more research into the devastating effects of paralysis and raise funds to give hope to those living with a spinal cord injury.

Get your local club, school or company involved. Challenge yourself and friends to our Drop KickABLE challenge or a virtual cycle between famous rugby grounds. Alternatively, arrange your own Scrum Dine With Me dinner or bake sale. Maybe you have an idea of your own, let us know so we can support you.

Visit our website to find out more and request a fundraising pack which includes your own Spot the Ball competition to play with friends.

Donate here or why not set up your own page by clicking the 'Start fundraising' button. Your support will help change the future of spinal cord injury.
