We help rugby to help its own - to help members of the rugby community

Story

In 2010, Mike Jones broke his neck in a rugby match.   This injury left him paralyzed from the neck down and jolted him, and his family, into an unknown future.  Fortunately, the worldwide rugby community rallied to his side and helped stabilize his financial situation so that he and his family could focus on his health.  I'm proud to be a part of the community that continues to support Jonesy to this day.

Some of the first ruggers to step up with financial support for Mike were the Hearts and Balls Trust from Scotland.  Set up to help catastrophically injured players like Mike, the H&B Trust sent a check with no questions asked and with nothing but love and support for Mike and his family.  Their donation was a major key in helping to unlock a path forward for the Jones family.

As these Scottish rugby players helped Mike, I want to return their support and help them.

If you choose to cover the transaction and processing fees, then 100% of your donation will go to support the Hearts and Balls Trust.

While your donation here goes DIRECTLY to the Hearts and Balls Trust, a delegation from Mike Jones' support team, "Jonesy's Front Row", will be presenting a donation check to the Scottish National Rugby team who will accept on behalf of the Trust.  This will happen on the eve of their Six Nations match versus Ireland on February 9, 2019.

Thank you for your support!
