“A
million pound fund raising legend came to Bishops Stortford Rugby Club
on 20th February and put his best foot forward to raise more than
£1,000 for CWAC.
County Armagh
resident Willie Nugent MBE was invited to kick off his 26th year of
charity work by visiting the Silver Leys club for a rugby stunt. The
challenge for the self-confessed novice was to put the ball over the
bar and raise £200 for CWAC with each successful conversion.
Mr Nugent has
single-handed raised more than £1m for a variety of good
causes said, “I love watching rugby on the TV, but have never
played it. The Armagh club have been helping me train, but the ball
could still go anywhere!”
However, five successful
kicks later and £1,000 later, CWAC representative Peter
Brooke Turner said “This is the sixth time Willie
has come to England to help us and we always look forward to seeing
him. He even pays for his own travel, so every penny comes to CWAC.
He’s crawled round Trafalgar Square with a tray of pigeon
seed on his back and pushed a toy London bus through Soho!”
As well as letting the kindhearted fundraiser use the hallowed turf,
the town’s club presented him with a £90 collection
from supporters.
Vice Chairman John
Allanson said “CWAC needed a club near Stanstead
Airport for Willie’s flight and we’ve been more
than happy to do all we can to help.”
Groups,
Clubs, Associations
Why not get a group that
you are associated with to fundraise for us? CWAC has been fortunate to
be supported by the ‘Just Enrique’ group for the
past two years. They have collected for us on World AIDS Day, donated
toys for children at Christmas, held their own events, and even linked
to our website – thanks Girls!
