We are always trying to improve the medical provision on offer at Preston Grasshoppers.

Getting these types of things in place can potentially save lives and reduce the chances of an injury having catastrophic consequences, but unfortunately they don't come cheap.

Building on the generosity already shown by others I thought I would do my bit to try and get the best equipment possible to help players and spectators as needed.

The aim is to get:
- a 'gold standard' scoop/stretcher for use in spinal injuries
- medical gases to help in any medical emergency such as cardiac arrest, limb fractures or head injuries.

To help encourage you and to give you something to 'sponsor' I and some other club members are each doing three triathlons this year, something I have never done before.

If we manage to raise the required amount I propose that any additional money goes to the North West Air Ambulance an invaluable service which helps hugely with things such as rugby injuries, as well as helping my family in the past.

I thank you!
