£2 To Support Future Wheelchair Rugby Stars
Help Us Raise £4,000 to Buy Our First Junior Rugby Wheelchair.
We have a short term loan of junior wheelchairs from the governing body Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby (GBWR), however, this is only a short term loan, we need to raise £40,000 to buy 10 specialist rugby wheelchairs.
Our Junior Members of the team:
