Who are we?
Southport Rugby Football Club – the town’s premier amateur sports club; enjoyed by all, committed to developing all & always looking to the future - a community rugby union club that we can all be proud of.
Why are we crowdfunding?
The MND Association focuses on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
As a rugby community we have seen the effects that MND has had on some ex players and believe that by supporting MND in this way we will be helping in the research to find a cure.
The club will also benefit from funds raised which will be used to purchase equipment for our mini and junior section.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The funds raised at our #TeamMND fundraising event will help support the 5000 people who are living with MND in the UK today.
Community impact
By encaging with our community we hope that everyone will support this event to make it a success and create a positive feeling for all involved in the town.
