I had originally shared this over on the rugby section but since there isn't much traction there and now it has hit msm I felt I could share it here.

The team at Barnes Rugby Club and now it appears the wider community including some of the top rugby players in the world are looking to raise "Tons" of money for the heroes in the NHS, and in memory of a great man and my Father in Law, Garry, who sadly passed recently due to covid-19.

Sun article linked below has the majority of the details. The initial target was 10k, would naturally be great if it can go higher!

Stay safe good people.

Over 100k raised today in aid of the NHS. Still time to donate, instead of 1m they lifted 7M. Target of 10k smashed out of the park.
