CALLING ALL FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES OF PHIL UBEE – WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! From Old Dunstonians, to Blackheath RFC, Campbell College Belfast, Collegians Belfast, Whitgift School, Chislehurst & Sidcup Grammar, Sidcup RFC and beyond…
As you may know, Phil has recently been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. This incurable neuromuscular condition causes progressive weakness and is rare, but has attracted more attention recently thanks to the efforts of other affected former players, Doddie Weir and Rob Burrow.
This has been incredibly tough for Phil, Jo and their family. They have shown unbelievable strength and courage, but they need our help. If you’re lucky enough to count him as a friend, you’ll know Phil would never dream of asking himself, so we’re doing this for him.
Most of the money raised will be used to support Phil and his family, so we can make sure his quality of life is the best it can be. He is adamant that a proportion goes to the MND Association, to help efforts to find a cure for those affected in the future.
As well as this page, we’ll be organising a fundraising match for Phil at the Old Dunstonian RFC early in the new year. Full details to follow!
Also, Phil attends some home fixtures at the ODs on Saturdays (upcoming dates: 15th Feb, 5th April). Come along and join him for a beer when you can!
Thank you,
The Ubee-Broadfoot family
