It's my 4th rof and this event seems to get better every time, it's an inspiring event run by inspiring people. This year see's us again heading to France for an epic adventure from the French capital to the home of rugby MKRUFC.
We are Raising money for rugby in the Milton Keynes community but also 2 charities, both are close to my heart.
Willen Hospice - provide free care to end of life patients and their families in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas. Only 15% of their running costs are met by the NHS, the rest is fundraised. As a much needed community facility who have supported many of us personally, ROF are happy to continue to raise vital funds for Willen Hospice.
Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) - in the UK, at least 12 young people die a week of undiagnosed heart conditions. CRY is working to reduce the frequency of this, to support those who are diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening cardiac condition and bereavement services to those families affected by Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD). We aim to raise enough money to have a cardiac screening day for all MKRUFC players aged 14-35 years to identify anyone who may be at risk.
MKRUFC - originally formed in 1870 as Wolverton Rugby Club, MKRUFC continues to provide a well-established rugby program for both kids and adults. Funds raised allow the club to maintain and develop this community facility and to provide an opportunity for rugby to thrive in Milton Keynes.
Training will start imminently and is a huge part of the event so all donations will help massively during this arduous time.
Dig deep and be generous people all for an amazing cause!!
