ROF 23

The Ring of Fire 2023 raises money for three great causes. Milton Keynes RUFC, Willen Hospice and former MK player Ed Slater’s MND Appeal. The event will see fundraisers like me cover the 250-mile cycle route over 3 probably gruelling days.

A little more on these charities:

Willen Hospice are a Milton Keynes based charitable hospice, caring for end-of-life patients and their families. This is a charity very close to our family having provided both my mother and sister with care, peace and dignity in their final weeks. Not to mention the support and advice provided to our family members. 

Motor Neurone Disease has also impacted ours and countless other families in the UK. Gloucester Rugby's Lock, Ed Slater, was diagnosed with the condition in 2022. This charity event will contribute to the Ed Slater MND Appeal.

Milton Keynes Rugby Club, like so many other similar organisations across the country, provide free access to the sport for hundreds of children and adult players. Run by volunteers, charitable events like this provide invaluable equipment and facilities to these volunteers, allowing them to provide training, coaching and support for generations to come.
