100K in May

100K in May

Martin Osborne7 May - 12:02

The boys getting In on the action for our 100k in May charity Fundraiser.

We're trying to raise as much as we can for both the Shaw Cross Sharks Club and the great Rugby League Benevolent Fund which helps injured Rugby league players and their families.

Please take a look at our GoFundMe page and give what you can or if you could just help us by Sharing the page as far and wide as possible.
Any support will be greatly appreciated.

We're doing the miles so you don't have to ?

A little more of who and why:

✨ 100K in May -Supporting Rugby, Community & Lifelong Care ✨

My Name is Lee and this May, I’m taking on a personal challenge: running (or jogging!) 100 kilometers to raise funds for two causes that mean the world to me — The Rugby Football League Benevolent Fund and Shaw Cross Sharks Rugby League Football Club.
All donations will be split 50/50 between these incredible organisations.

Why These Causes?

As a parent of three boys who proudly play for Shaw Cross Sharks, I’ve seen first-hand how powerful rugby can be. It’s more than a sport — it’s fitness, discipline, confidence, belonging, and a place where lifelong friendships are built. The club gives young people a safe, positive environment to grow, learn and thrive, and I want to help ensure that continues for years to come.

The second half of this fundraiser supports The Rugby Football League Benevolent Fund, an organisation dedicated to providing lifelong care and support to players and their families following life-changing, serious or catastrophic injuries sustained while playing or training. Their work is vital. They stand ready to help players like my own children should they ever need support due to injuries suffered while doing something they love.

Why 100K in May?

Because if these players can give everything on the field, I can certainly put one foot in front of the other for 100 kilometers. It’s a challenge that pushes me, raises awareness, and hopefully inspires people to get behind two causes that protect, support and empower our rugby community.

How You Can Help

Every donation — big or small — makes a real difference. You’re not just supporting a runner; you’re supporting young people, families, injured players, and the future of our sport.

Thank you for backing 100K in May and helping me support two organisations that give so much to so many.
