Story
We're calling on rugby fans and clubs everywhere to become a #RestartRugbyLegend and take up one of our exciting challenges, raising vital funds for Restart Rugby to support fomer professional rugby players forced to retire because of injury and illness.
Our fundraisers will be able to join one of our core events (see below), all led by former professional players and aimed at bringing together rugby lovers for a challenge and a great day out! Alternatively, supporters can take on their own challenge or simply show their support by making a donation for our #RestartRugbylegends team.
