Birstall RFC Beard Off – 1st Jan til 20th March
Players to throw away their razors to help Rich!
Birstall RFC players will be growing beards to help raise money for the Richard Engelgardt Trust Fund.
During a pre-season training game against Aylestone St. James on Tuesday 18th August 2009 Richard Engelgardt tragically sustained a dislocated spine when a scrum collapsed. Though Richard is recovering well in Hertfordshires Stoke Mandeville Hospital he was informed during December that he is unlikely to ever walk again.
Club Secretary and Player David Bonser said ‘This is a great opportunity for the guys and the club to pull together to help raise some money for Richard as well as awareness of the fund. We will be shaving them off on the 20th March when we visit Vetnor RFC where Richards brother plays as part of our annual tour. The buzz about doing this between the lads has been fantastic and I’m looking forward to some of the horror cases that not shaving for 79 days will bring!’.
The club hope to raise at least £2,000 over the next 3 months and are grateful for any money people can give to help.
