Hi All - Many of you know that I'm from the States, and more specifically Texas. My hometown of Houston has been devastated this week by Hurricane Harvey. Record flooding has hit the area since last Friday. My parents were lucky and only had 8 cm in their house. An Aussie mate did the conversion and said the total rain fall in the area was the volume of 70 Sydney Harbors in about 3-4 days.
My ex-coach from Texas is associated with a group called Rugby Relief (www.rugbyrelief.org). It a consortium of volunteers from Texas and Louisiana Rugby clubs that help out during natural disasters. If you are able to assist, donating to their GoFundMe is the easiest method for donations at https://www.gofundme.com/rugbyrelief
The funds will be used for tools, protective gear, food, and water for volunteers that are assisting with disaster relief in Houston and the surrounding areas.
I will be heading back next week to try to help out. Please share this with your local rugby clubs as well. Thanks in advance for your donations, thoughts and prayers.
Cheers,
Mike
ESRU will help they have plenty of money

Done.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Thanks to all that have contributed and spread the word. I will be heading down late next week to help out. I'll post some pictures when I can.
Rugby Relief posted this on the Neddies Juniors Facebook page "Thank you so much for your help in spreading the word and donating! We greatly appreciate the international support!"
