My Personal Message Dear Friends,The IRFU charitable Trust raises funds for seriously injured players. There are currently 33 seriously injured players registered with the Charitable Trust in Ireland, most of whom are wheelchair bound and have some form of permanent paralysis. I wanted to fundraise for the trust by taking part in a 1000km cycle across New Zealand. All my costs, flights, accommodation and extra expenses Im paying for myself. Every penny raised or donated will go directly to the charity. My place of work, Digino Marketing has adopted the challenge also and made it their own for the year, and through volunteer activities like bag packing, collecting, sponsorship and local events, together we hope to raise at least 6000. Please read a few words about the IRFU Charitable Trust below. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated. For more information on our fundraising efforts please visit Digino Challenge » Many thanks in advance for your support, Andrew |

About my charity The IRFU Charitable Trust supports seriously injured rugby players who have suffered severe spinal injury leaving them paralysed and in need of round the clock care. The Trust maintains regular contact with each injured player and their families. We help with locomotory expenses, specialised equipment (such as lifting equipment, beds, or wheelchairs), home alterations, medical expenses, nursing and caring costs, motor vehicles etc. This is not an exhaustive list but it gives an indication of the kind of help provided by the Trust. Over the past few years the average payment for assistance has amounted to about €220,000 per annum. There are over 30 players in Ireland supported by the Trust in this way. To fund this assistance the Trust relies upon regular substantial grants from the IRFU itself, together with generous donations and gifts. Click here for more information |
