About a year ago my mate @Ben Nicholson suggested we run the London marathon to recognise that 5 years have passed since Anita, Annabel and Alex ⭐️⭐️⭐️ were taken from us.In their memory I aim to raise as much money as I can for The Atlas Foundation whose projects support children and give them the opportunity to thrive through rugby communities and initiatives.
You are making a positive difference through sports mentoring and making Young Londoners part of the "Rugby Family" and giving them a "Rugby Home" where they can feel confident, grow and prosper. Young people need help, now more than ever.
During the 2018 England rugby tour to South Africa, The Silver Hippos accompanied Jason Leonard and some of the England Rugby team on a visit to an Atlas Foundation project in Cape Town. Jason established the Atlas Foundation to "raise kids out of disadvantage through the power of rugby". The Hippos were very admiring of this work and set up this Fund to continue to support the work we saw there, and in other places around the world.
Protecting & Supporting the Richmond Rugby Family. This is a fundraising Night Walk from Tower Bridge to Richmond Bridge, crossing every Bridge (23!) in between. A distance of 43km – a little more than a marathon.
To raise funds for the Richmond Heavies Foundation to continue to fund Heart Screening, and Mental Health Provisions for players and Members, and the Defibrillator Fund which supplies defibs to any community rugby club that doesn’t already have one (so far c60 distributed). See RHF website for more details.
2 years ago Pete aka Norm did the seemingly insane for a 52 year old with a dodgy back and even dodgier hip. He took on the challenge to run 100 kilometers in one go. He is doing it again. Atlas raises money for so many deserving people in all parts of the deprived world I feel it is important to remember that the economic crisis is hitting even the poorest in the world, giving them a doubling down of hardships. I hope you can donate generously and help provide some care.
I’m fundraising for for the ATLAS Foundation as I believe no children in the world should suffer and they should receive equal opportunities.
In memory of Ed who we all loved and in support for the great work being done by TRD!

I am one of Ed's older sisters and his wonderful friends and family continue to try new ways of raising money for the Atlas Foundation and Tanzania Rugby Development Program. My next challenge is a White Collar Boxing Match on the 24th March, something I think Ed would find absolutely hilarious and be so proud of me for. I miss him and can't wait to do this for him and the amazing work the money raised will do for TRD.
