In a powerful display of resilience and solidarity, Ashley Spencer is set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in support of two remarkable causes: Rugby League Cares and the RFU Injured Players Foundation. Both charities work tirelessly to support players whose lives have been affected by serious injuries sustained in the sport, offering crucial medical, emotional, and practical support during some of life’s toughest moments.

A passionate advocate for player welfare and community spirit, Ashley Spencer is taking on Africa’s highest peak not just as a personal challenge, but as a tribute to the strength, courage, and unity found within the rugby family. Every step towards the summit will raise vital funds and awareness for those who continue to face challenges far greater than any mountain.
