This Memorial Fund has been set up by Ben Nicholson in memory of his wife Anita and their two children Alex and Annabel who tragically lost their lives in the Sri Lanka bombings on Easter Sunday 2019.

Anita was a hugely popular member of the Atlas Foundation family. She set up and ran our first ever fundraising dinner in Singapore in October 2018. We remain eternally grateful to her, and are all devastated to have lost her.

Ben says that in addition to Anita's role with Atlas, rugby has been a significant and important part of their family life, driven in particular by Alex and Annabel's love of the game. 

Ben will be working with Atlas to create a fitting memorial to all three. Here at Atlas we will add our weight to this and start with a £20,000 pledge of support.
