Murrayfield or Bust!
On Saturday 16th May, all the youth players at Hammersmith & Fulham RFC – from the U16s right down to the minis – are joining forces to raise £10,000 for the FRIENDS OF CHARING CROSS HOSPITAL by virtually passing a rugby ball from Twickenham to Murrayfield Stadium. Everyone will be participating from their homes!
To achieve this huge target, we need to pass the ball a distance of 535 km, which means completing 110,000 passes in just one day – so we need your help!
Anyone and everyone can get take part because the more people that get involved, the more money we will raise for FRIENDS OF CHARING CROSS HOSPITAL in Hammersmith to help them continue all the fantastic work they do supporting front line NHS workers.

How you can participate:
The challenge is simple – pass the ball at least 5 metres to a friend or family over 1000 times on the big day, which is equivalent to 5k, but the more you do, the quicker we’ll reach our target.
If you don’t have a rugby ball it doesn’t matter, you can use a football, basketball or even a toilet roll!
For more information, including how to register, email us at Murrayfieldorbust@gmail.com
On the big day post your videos on Instagram and tag in @hammers_rugby_juniors_sw6
How you can raise money to help reach our target:
To take part you need just £10 (or pocket money equivalent for juniors, £1 is enough!) and then start asking family and friends to sponsor you.
If you can get ten friends to sponsor you £20 that would raise £200, and so if 100 people are involved we will double our goal of £10,000!
During this difficult time, let’s use this wonderful opportunity to pull together as a club and local community to “Hammer” this target!
Thank you!
