Hi, I'm Toby, I'm 14, and I'm doing a sponsored push today to raise money for my own rugby chair.
I'm going to push 91 laps of a wheelchair rugby court, which is 7,800m as the chair I need costs £7,800
I love wheelchair rugby. It is brilliant fun – I love the tactics, in-play strategies, fast-paced nature of the games, and teamwork. It gives me a sense of freedom. It allows me to achieve my goals and meet other people like me, not just at my club but also at tournaments.
I recently won best in class at the GBWR 4s tournament where my team won promotion, and at a 3x3 tournament, so I can't wait to see what I can achieve if I have the right chair.
Unfortunately, the only chair the Club could borrow that is the right size for me to train and play is an attack chair, which is heavier, harder to push, and more difficult to stop the opponent’s attackers. A defence chair that fits me well would enable me to avoid injuries (to my back and shoulders), elevate my game further, and improve my defence skills, enabling me to better help the Team. My ultimate goal is to see if I can get to international level.
