Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s Director of Operations, Bob Bowman, will be running 15 marathons in 15 days to raise money for Leeds Rhinos Foundation to help support our projects across the city. Here’s why the money he raises is so important for our charity.
As the official charity of Leeds Rhinos, we deliver projects in the heart of the community to support some of the most vulnerable people in society by harnessing the power of sport to make a lasting, positive impact on people's lives.
