Once again, we saw the might of the rugby family this month as people from clubs across Oxfordshire came together for a rugby community walk in support of John Baker and his family, as they fundraised for the RFU Injured Players Foundation.
The RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF), England Rugby’s official charity, launched their Club Tour with an event held at Lymm RFC on Wednesday 11th June. IPF ambassadors Nick Mullins and Jason Robinson headlined the evening and discussed all things rugby with a focus on this summer’s forthcoming British and Irish Lions Tour, as well as sharing their personal reasons for supporting the charity.
If you’re an English rugby fan, there are few better feelings than running out at the home of England Rugby alongside your best mates. That’s exactly what grassroots teams from across the country enjoyed while raising over £130,000 for the RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF).
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.”
