Story

Our friendship actually began over a rugby match when we both realised our idea of a good game involved a great seat in a pub where the beer was cold and the tv large. 

Saturday afternoons in the pub were a staple of our time at uni and sealed a friendship which sees us putting down the beers and putting on our running shoes to take on the London Marathon together.

We're raising money for the RFU Injured Players Foundation who support players with serious spine and head injuries that result in significant permanent disability. They also fund and inform training of rugby players, coaches and referees in order to protect players from serious injury.

Fortunately, us and our friends and family have had hundreds of games suffering little more than a bloody nose or a sprained wrist. 

For some, the injury is often catastrophic and life changing. We're raising money to support those whose lives have been changed forever, in an instant, simply by playing the game they love. 

Thank you for supporting us in supporting them. We really appreciate your donations.
