Leamington Rugby Club are hitting the road.
This June, Stuart Chamberlain, Steve Harris, Pete Gray, Bruce Grant, Richard Burling, Derrin Nisbet, Roger Crockford and Phil McGaffin are mounting their steeds - bikes!- and blazing a trail from Leamington Rugby Club to Holyhead Lifeboat station on Anglesey
7 riders, 210 miles, 3 days
The route will take us out to Kidderminster, up to Oswestry, through Snowdonia to Bangor, cross the Menai Straits, cycle across Anglesey to Holyhead.
210 miles - tired legs, chaffed thighs, rear end like its been thrashed with a wet tea towel.....and all in the name of fun - well charity is its surname.
Who are we doing it for??
Prostate Cancer - Leamington Rugby Club's charity for 2011/12 season
RNLI - does any more need to be said anymore. Brave men and women, all volunteers, putting their lives at risk
Warwickshire and Northants Air Ambulance - valuable service to the Midlands area, saving countless lives, seen regularly flying in the area - we want to keep it that way
Mountain Rescue England and Wales - again, volunteers to a person, risking life and limb on the side of a mountain
Matt Hampson Foundation - a ruugby player who was seriously injured. His foundation's aim is to provide advice, support, relief and/or treatment for anyone suffering serious injury or disability which has arisen from any cause, but in particular from participation in or training for any sport, sporting activity or other form of physical education or recreation - can't say much more than that.
What do we want from you??
The simple bit - 1.00. One pound I hear you cry - thats nothing. And that's right it is nothing, so if 50,000 give nothing that makes 50,000 - the purists will say that answer should be nothing - but you get what we mean!
Pop in a pound and pass the message on. Think how many people you know and how many are affected by the charities above!! You will not notice one pound and if you email, tweet and facebook to family, friends, |
