RFU Injured Players Foundation member Liam O’Keeffe has climbed to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in a specially adapted wheelchair. The 36-year-old former rugby player has accomplished the extraordinary feat 10 years after he sustained a spinal cord injury while playing for St Mary’s Old Boys, Bristol.
The Wheelchair Alliance, a community interest company that champions the needs of wheelchair users, has announced a three-year funding partnership with the RFU (Rugby Football Union) Injured Players Foundation (IPF), an independent charity that supports players who have sustained an acute life-changing injury whilst playing rugby union in England.
Teenage Red Roses’ fans Emma Chapman and Neve Lawrence have been keeping a closer eye than most on their team’s scorelines during the Rugby World Cup 2025.
Without the IPF I probably wouldn’t have got to where I am today.
'I could have got to Uni without the IPF help, but I'm not sure I would have gone to Uni without the IPF help.'
"There wasn’t a single day that the IPF and the club weren’t there for me. It has made me appreciate rugby even more.”
