England Rugby players get behind the #twopointsixchallenge in aid of the RFU Injured Players Foundation!

The London Marathon, which would have taken place this Sunday, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event. It raised more than £66.4 million for thousands of charities in 2019.

In its place this year is The 2.6 Challenge, a campaign to help UK Charities during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Rugby Football Union (RFU) is supporting it.

England players have put their own spin on The 2.6 Challenge, but it can be any activity you like, from running 2.6 miles to doing 26 push-ups, and we’re asking the rugby community to get involved.

Choose your #TwoPointSixChallenge and if you are able to – make a donation or do some fundraising. The RFU Injured Player’s Foundation (IPF) is England Rugby’s primary charity.

They provide support and information to rugby players in England who sustain a catastrophic spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury playing the game, and help prevent future injuries through vital research. So when thinking of who to support through a donation, we ask you consider the IPF.
