    CANCER RESEARCH UK CRUSADERS RFC

    Play Rugby, Tackle Cancer is a grassroots effort to increase cancer awareness through the whole rugby community and show support to fellow ruggers that have had their lives impacted by cancer.

    I have had personal experience where my life was impacted by cancer and the support from the Rugby community worldwide proved to me that Rugby is a vast family.

    Since then, I have taken a position working with Cancer Research UK and meet every day people that have had their lives impacted or changed by cancer, including fellow rugby players.

    Cancer is a disease that now affects 1 in 3 of us and the fight is long and hard. So I am delighted to have entered a team into this year Golden Oldies in Edinburgh from 1st September to 7th September.

    I have established the Crusaders RFC as a touring charity squad, where all our team members are made up from people whose lives have either been touched by cancer or know someone who has. We have squad members and supporters from all over, including California, South Africa, Australia and Canada.

    Although Edinburgh will be our very first event, it won’t be our last and we plan to tour wherever we are invited throughout the UK and beyond. There’s nothing better than a good ‘old Vets tourney.

    We are contacting you to ask whether you might have any "old boys" 35 and over, who would like to join us at the World Golden Oldies in Edinburgh this September. We understand that you may have entered a team already but there are many “old boy orphans” out there who are pining for a game and what better cause to lace the boots up again than to raise awareness for Cancer Research UK, while playing the game they love.

    We are not after any funding, sponsorship or freebies. although will accept all of it, we want to get as many players and supporters together to join us in our aim to establish the Crusaders RFC as a team who love both the sport of rugby and a passion to raise awareness for a dreadful disease that affects so many friends and family.

    I would be delighted if you could make your members aware of this event and that we are actively seeking players and supporters.
