Fundraising for RFU Injured Players Foundation
My Vets team the "Wimbledon Strollers” are honoured and proud
to be invited to take part in the RFUIPF, on the 9th June at Twickenham!
This event is particularly close to all of our hearts at
Wimbledon, as one of our players, Jack Fishwick was involved in a tragic
accident whilst playing, which left him with little feeling or useful function
from the shoulders downwards.
As a club we have held our own fundraising efforts for Jack
including the, now famous Jack Fishwick 7s tournament.
Having now gone through a period of rehabilitation and
sourced and adapted a flat to allow him as much independence as possible Jack
has asked that funds raised at the 7s competition go to the IPF alone.
This is due to the high level of support Jack received form
the IPF and his knowledge that many injured players do not get the level of
support afforded to him and rely solely on the IPF.
We together with Hammersmith & Fulham RFC, Wimbledon RFC
and Silhilians RUFC, have set ourselves a massive target of £40,000, so please
can you help me support the RFUIPF by sponsoring me in this match.
This event gives us a splendid opportunity to help support a
charity dedicated to supporting and protecting the rugby family.
If you would like to see more of what the RFUIPF does to
help the injured players and their families adapt and recover from critical
injuries and importantly to me, the preventive research they do, to stop tragic
injuries happening like this again, please log on to http://www.rfuipf.org.uk
