At Stafford Uni, I played rugby with Gareth Rees (Reesy). Reesy always gave everything for the team on the pitch, and was a great guy to be around off the pitch.

While playing for his club side, Reesy suffered a severe spinal injury, resulting in paralysis from the shoulders down. To learn more about Reesy's story, please watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ND64tgNAkA

Myself, and a group who played with him at Staffs, are completing Tough Mudder this November to raise money for Reesy, via the Matt Hampson Foundation.

Tough Mudder events are hardcore 12 mile-long obstacle courses designed by the Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. You can learn more about Tough Mudder here: http://toughmudder.co.uk/

 Please give anything you can, it will all make a difference to Reesy's quality of life.
