UCLU Men's Rugby are dyeing our hair bleach blonde by March 10th in an effort to show we won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect. We want do something, however small, to help MIND, a charity going above and beyond so nobody should have to deal with mental issues alone (http://www.mind.org.uk). 

Our 16 players have set themselves a total target of £1600, any donations at all would be hugely appreciated.

Please find below our player profiles. The 1st team captain is not only bleaching his hair, but also dying it in the club colour purple.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
