Restart Rugby Weekend
By Mark Stevens
26/4/17
This weekend (28-30th April), all Aviva Premiership matches including Exeter Chiefs' game against Northampton Saints will be dedicated to Restart Rugby, the official charity of the Rugby Players’ Association. Together were aiming to raise £10,000 to help players suffering from serious injury, illness or hardship.
We’re also raising awareness for the #LiftTheWeight campaign which addresses mental health issues amongst players. 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health issue each year. Rugby players are no exception. Restart Rugby supports players and their families during their most difficult times through a 24/7 counselling service.
“Restart Rugby is our charity. Please join the club and our players and help Lift The Weight for Restart Rugby Weekend.” Haydn Thomas, RPA Player Representative for Exeter Chiefs
