The dnata Bali Legends have been playing in the International Vets section of the Dubai 7s since 2007 and been fundraising since 2010 for Dan's Fund For Burns.

The team was the brainchild of Trefor Elliott and Brian Jenkins, who were attending the Bali 10’s in 2002 with the Hong Kong Pot Bellied Pigs rugby club.

They chatted to Polly and her friends on the day of the Bali bombings and the girls mentioned their fantastic spa massages they had just had. After a club meal, both Brian and Trefor were around 100m from the Sari Club when it exploded, but luckily for them, not in it! They, along with other team members assisted in helping those caught up in the blast.

Polly lost her husband, Dan and her best friend Annika and 7 other friends. She was the sole survivor of her table of 10 that night and had only been married 5 weeks. She was lucky enough not to be knocked out in the blast and was able to pull herself up and out of the sari club onto its tin shack and straw roof and run across it to safety. Not before she was badly burned though. Help came in the form of the Australians and she was kept alive by some touring Aussie Rules footie players and then patched up in Sanglah before being flown to Brisbane where they saved her life. She was left like a patch work quilt with 43% burns.

In light of all this horror, Polly needed to make something good come from this, bring some light to the darkness, misery and loss and decided to raise money for burns survivors. Her aim was to do more good than evil. With the 20th anniversary of the charity this past May the charity has raised over £3mn and has become one of the three major burns charities in the UK. Helping countless burn survivors re build their lives and provide financial, critical and emotional support and donating to improve the NHS services with providing a wide range of aftercare support.

We will be putting our bodies on the line over the weekend, making every effort to lift the trophy this year and we'd be grateful for any pennies you can spare. It’s a small and effective charity and needs our support.
