This year, Restart, the official charity of the Rugby Players Association, is thrilled to be part of the London Marathon. Just as rugby players rely on their team both on and off the pitch, Restart is here to provide financial, practical, and emotional support to elite male and female rugby players facing life's toughest challenges.

Since 2005, Restart has delivered over £2 million to fund rehabilitation, disability assistance, essential equipment, home modifications, and long-term medical treatments. The charity also invests up to £60,000 annually to ensure players can access mental health support through its 24/7 confidential counselling service. Mental health issues affect 1 in 4 people, including rugby players, making this service a critical lifeline for those in need.

By taking part in the London Marathon, we not only raise funds but also awareness of the challenges faced by rugby players and the essential support Restart provides. With your donations, we can continue standing shoulder to shoulder with players, helping them overcome injury, illness, or hardship.

Together, we can make an impact. Donate today and be part of the team that keeps our rugby players supported, both on and off the field.
