Medics Rugby Challenge 2010

2nd November. Plymouth Albion RFC

The Peninsula Medical School		The Royal Marines

The first Medics Rugby Challenge was enjoyed by players and spectators alike, despite the weather. This year's event, sponsored by Watercooled, hosted by Plymouth Albion and supported by Formedia, promises to be as much fun for all involved. Our chosen charity this year is The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund, which exists to maintain the efficiency and 'esprit de corps' of the Royal Marines and to provide benevolence support for those in need.

The care of our service personel injured on operational deployment in Afganistan involves the ultimate team; self or buddy-buddy at the point of wounding, the Unit Medics, the MERT, the Hospital at Camp Bastion, the C-CAST, Selly Oak Hospital, Headley Court and then the individual's Unit, Family and Friends with the support of a number of other charities and initiatives. HASLER Company is a new unit that has been formed within the Royal Marines and is based at HMS Drake in Plymouth. Its goal is specific; to aid the recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration of injured Royal Marines into Service or Civilian life.

With 40 Commando deployed in Afghanistan from March until October 2010 and 3 Commando Brigade due to be deployed for the same period in 2011, your support for those that unfortunately will be injured is very much appreciated. If you are unable to make it to the game, please donate through our JustGiving webpage. JustGiving will send your money directly to the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

On behalf of those unlucky enough to benefit from your support, thank you!
