This year I will be taking on the big challenges of the London Marathon in April and also the 100-mile RideLondon in August, and to help me on my way I would be extremely grateful if you lovely people would donate to the RFU's Injured Players Foundation (IPF).

As you probably know, I love my rugby and so I am hoping to raise as much money as possible for the IPF, as they support professional and amateur rugby union players who sustain a catastrophic spinal cord or brain injury with all aspects of their recovery. They also work to prevent future injuries through research and education, and offer support to injured players through recovery and rehabilitation that is made available to them immediately and for the rest of their lives.

For more info about the charity: www.rfuipf.org.uk

The Foundation assists in a number of ways such as helping an injured player access physio to help with their recovery, assistance with obtaining accessible transport, offering short-term financial help to cover household bills, helping an injured player stay in touch with family and friends by providing hands-free or touch-screen devices plus improving a player's career prospects by providing funding for further education and gaining qualifications.

Please give what you can as it really is very much appreciated. Thank you!
