Some of you may have heard or read that local player, Ben Cornwall received a serious injury to his leg whilst playing in his Dad's memorial game a few weeks a go.
Ben is a well loved guy from Leicester Lions Rugby Club and also a county player.
Unfortunately Ben has had to undergo surgery on the injury, and requires a number of weeks and months to rest and rehabilitate.
But Ben is self employed and with no sick pay benefits from that of an employed person.
Ben's friends have come together to create a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help Ben and his family during his rehabilitation.
Details below for how you can contribute if you wish.

The team gave their all in the final of the Division 3 County Championship today at Twickenham, but were unable to get ahead of the great performance from Hampshire Rugby Football Union who took the lead with an early try, keeping us chasing.
We were able to level up with 21-21 but with an outstanding try scored by Hampshires #11 who kicked and caught his own ball from the reset, we were always chasing.
Final score 26-40
Both teams were evenly matched and it was a final to be proud of.
Congratulations Hampshire Rugby Football Union
We also wish Alec Barradell a speedy recovery after a head injury.
Thank you to everyone who travelled to support Leicestershire and thank you to everyone behind the scenes who made the campaign possible.
