Living and breathing the Castore #BetterNeverStops mentality, I wanted to mark the England Rugby x Castore partnership by taking on a challenge with real purpose.

To raise vital funds and awareness, I’ll be cycling from the home of England Rugby at Allianz Twickenham to the Stade de France in Paris, in support of the RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF). The plan is to head south to Brighton/Newhaven, catch the overnight ferry across the Channel to Dieppe, and then continue the journey on to Paris.

I’ll set off on Thursday 12 March 2026, aiming to arrive in Paris just in time for France v England in the Six Nations on Saturday 14 March 2026.

The IPF is England Rugby’s official charity, providing lifelong support to players who suffer catastrophic spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries while playing the game - at any level and any age. They support injured players and their families from the moment of injury and fund vital research to help make rugby safer.

Every donation, big or small, makes a genuine difference - helping injured players regain independence and ensuring they are supported for life.

Please donate if you can, and thank you for your support.
