Challenge

In the US and the world, people are suffering and dying. Both from Covid-19 itself and from the impact of lost jobs, income, food and medicine.

Solution

The Rugby Family has stepped up on a global scale, from players in the Forces, like the Royal Air Force, in the Police from the NYPD to the Met in London, and in clubs around the world, to reach the front line on disease and poverty. Many have lost loved ones, many have saved the lives of the starving and vulnerable. The Rugby Family has stepped up and is out there making essential food and medical deliveries.

Long-Term Impact

This Round the World Challenge honours all who serve, The Rugby Family will make a massive effort to go the extra mile for them. Traveling together around the world - under human power until we collectively make it round the world and raise $25,000 - a dollar for each mile - to feed over 25,000 children. Already the challenge has exceeded its target through the combined gifts of supporters in the USA, UK and Asia, via the RAF, through Atlas and $10,000 directy to Unicef.
