🦁 YOU ASKED. WE PROMISED. HERE IT IS…
Yesterday, we told you that Bournemouth Lions Wheelchair Rugby Club were taking on our biggest challenge yet.
We mentioned:
🦽 Wheelchair Rugby
🌍 7,325 miles
🇿🇦 South Africa
🏉 International competition
Today, we can finally reveal what it’s all about.
WE’RE GOING TO JOHANNESBURG! 🇿🇦
Our ambition is to take a Bournemouth Lions team to South Africa to play wheelchair rugby against South African teams.
To compete internationally.
To test ourselves against new opposition.
To experience a different wheelchair rugby culture.
To build friendships and connections through our sport.
And to bring that experience home to help grow Bournemouth Lions.
But there’s one BIG challenge standing between Bournemouth and Johannesburg…
WE NEED TO RAISE £45,000.
So we’ve decided to make the fundraising challenge almost as big as the dream.
🦁 THE BIG PUSH
Together, we’re going to cover the equivalent of the distance from Bournemouth to Johannesburg.
That’s approximately 7,325 miles.
And we want YOU to be part of it.
Walk it.
Run it.
Cycle it.
Push it.
Row it.
Get your rugby club involved.
Get your school involved.
Get your business involved.
Or simply support one of our Lions.
7325 MILES.
£45,000.
ONE TEAM.
ONE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY.
Every mile takes us closer.
Every pound takes us closer.
Every person who joins us becomes part of the journey.
🇬🇧 BOURNEMOUTH → JOHANNESBURG 🇿🇦
THE BIG PUSH STARTS NOW.
Will you help us get there?
🦁🏉♿
