Story
2018 was a tough year for me, but during this time I met Damian and made a wider network of friends and heard about Restart.
I was heartened to hear that even the toughest rugby players go through rough times and hard stops, and not just on the field. But everyone deserves support and help getting back on their feet. So that's why I'm here. I had a great support network to get me back and firing and on to new adventures. This is how i see Restart helping professional rugby players imagine a solid, stable and successful life after rugby.
The Restart Alpine Challenge is a trek of a lifetime.The team is taking on one of the worlds most iconic trails in the Mont Blanc massif alongside rugby legends Ed Jackson and Damian Hopley for an extraordinary challenge in aid of Restart. The 4-day challenge will take you on a magnificent and challenging 80km trek through Italy across the French border.
Together we aim to raise £30,000 for Restart's work supporting professional rugby players suffering from serious illness, injury or hardship. Restart is there to provide players and their families with financial, practical and emotional support during difficult times, including help with medical treatment, rehabilitation, counselling and career transition. The Alpine Challenge will raise vital funds to enable us to be there for players when they need us most.Thank you for your support.With thanks to our Founding Partner RISE Management Consulting and our event organisers, CHX Challenge.
