HALIFAX LADIES YORKSHIRE THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE

Hello,

My name is Abigail, and I am the current captain of Halifax Ladies RUFC.

Last September, we tragically lost one of our teammates, Vicki 'T-Rex'.

In our friend and teammates' honour, Halifax Ladies and extended family and friends have set themselves the challenge of walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks on Friday 3rd June.

Vicki was a kind and vibrant person who would always go above and beyond to help anyone in need. So, we have decided in her honour to swap our rugby boots for walking boots and get hiking! We have set out to raise some vital funds to support causes close to all of our ladies' hearts.

Vicki encouraged and supported her teammates both on and off the pitch. She exemplified what it meant to be part of a 'Team', and as a squad, we wish to keep championing her inclusive kind-hearted nature!

As a result, we have set up the VICKI 'T-REX' FUND!

This fund will support both individuals and the team for various needs such as equipment, kit, subs, etc. We want to continue to make rugby accessible for all, and we hope this fund can act as a way of supporting this mission with past, present and future team members.

We will also be raising funds for Healthy Minds @ Calderdale Wellbeing. A mental health charity that provide a range of mental health services within our local area.

Lastly, we will be supporting our very own Halifax Magpies! Our Mixed Ability Lads are off to the Rugby World Cup and we hope to be able to help them on their way to bringing back the silverware!!

In true Vicki style, we will be wearing the brightest colours we can find to stand out from the crowd as she always did. Both in hair colour and character ❤

Please dig deep and donate where you can for all of our great causes! And a cheeky share of this fundraiser would also be great.

Love all,

At Halifax Ladies.
