Michael Hebden, one of SRFCs senior squad coaches is running a Half Marathon and is looking for some sponsorship for this worthy cause.
‘On Sunday 1st August, I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon, raising money for the RFU Inured Players Foundation, a fantastic rugby charity who support players who sustain catastrophic injuries whilst playing. This will be my first running event and it will certainly be a challenge due to a lack of training in recent weeks!!
I'd be hugely grateful to anyone who can spare some money to sponsor me and support such a worthwhile cause.’

The benefits of rugby; physical social and mental are significant, and in my opinion, far outweigh the injury risks that are associated with the game. There are occasions when players suffer serious injuries and the support which the RFU Injured Players Foundation provides is not just critical but also a sign of the life-long bonds and togetherness that exists within the rugby community.
Having enjoyed running as my only method of exercise during the lockdown, I was keen to enter a race for the first time. Having never raced before, or attempted a half marathon, it seemed the perfect opportunity to raise money for an incredibly important rugby charity.
