Neil Carruthers has played rugby for just over thirty years and in this coming year he will be turning 50.
 
He has decided to spend his 50th year raising funds for the UK charity Cancer Research.

In this next year he will be hosting an event every month to try and reach his target of £50,000 (a thousand pound for each year of his life).
...
We are looking for donations, auction prizes, businesses to sponsor match balls etc....any help no matter how big or small is welcomed

Please support Neil in this fantastic year long venture as he reaches the 50 milestone.
