We're proud to be supporting Stay Strong Stu

Winn Solicitors couldn’t be more pleased to be sponsoring a charity rugby match in aid of Stu Ridley.

Taking place on on April 22nd, the game will see Clem’s Pirates go up against Northumberland Vets at Kingston Park, the home of Newcastle Falcons.

The match is taking place to raise money for Stu Ridley, the Tynedale rugby player who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

Despite the devastating diagnosis, Stu is tackling his illness with determination and good humour, and he’s already looking to return to the squad after treatment.

Stu’s inspirational attitude has seen his Facebook page, Stay Strong Stu, gather supporters from around the world. Stuart Lancaster, England rugby coach, has also been in touch to offer his support.

We know there will be plenty more people showing their support at the match.

Entry is free but donations are encouraged at the collection buckets.

Winn Solicitors’ Finance Director, Iain Richardson, said; “Winns are pleased to join with Clem’s Pirates and the North East rugby community and offer our support to the Stay Strong Stu campaign.

“We hope that our contribution, along with the efforts of all those involved in the match, can help Stu in his battle to overcome this illness. Stay Strong Stu!”

The Stay Strong Stu match kicks off at 8pm at Kingston Park. The game will also be shown as part of local TV station Made in Tyne and Wear’s programme, Wor Rugby.
