Raising money for The Change Foundation to support the VI Rugby programme

Tom Rogers is raising money for The Change Foundations Visually Impaired rugby programme who are fundraising to take an England team to compete at the inaugural Visually Impaired Rugby International Tournament, taking place in Toulon, France.

I am extremely grateful to have been selected for such an amazing opportunity within a sport that I never thought possible to play due to my visual impairment. The Change Foundation has given me the platform to help drive and grow this amazing sport to hopefully encourage visually impaired athletes of all ages to join and raise awareness for the game.

Visually Impaired rugby is one of many fantastic programmes co-ordinated by The Change Foundation that uses sport to support marginalised groups within society.

To help reach my target, starting from the 14th August, I will be virtually cycling the distance from Gatwick to Toulon’s stadium in France, the Stade Mayol. The total distance is 1270km, which will be covered over 30 days, meaning it has to be completed by the 13th September. Averaging at 42.3km per day (roughly the equivalent of a marathon).

I will be extremely grateful for any donations and support from you all. No matter how small. Even a share of the page will help massively!

Thank you 🙏🏻
