Lucy Owen, Chief Executive of Leeds Rugby Foundation is delighted that such a huge world renowned star is to represent Leeds Rugby Foundation, she said:
“We are delighted that Matt has chosen to take on this immense challenge to raise vital funds for Leeds Rugby Foundation.
“Matt is one of the charity’s Vice Presidents and does so much in that role to support the organisation, but this really is going above and beyond the call of duty!
“In taking part in the Great North Run, Matt is helping the Foundation to help even more people in our local community have access to life changing opportunities. All the money Matt raises will help us change even more lives through sport and we simply can’t thank him enough.
“We must not forget that Bob Bowman, Deputy Chairman of Leeds Rugby Foundation and Leeds Rhinos Head Of Youth Performance, Barrie McDermott are also taking part in the run – we wish them all luck and are so thankful for their continued efforts!”
