HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM RFC
STUART MANGAN APPEAL

NEWS AND EVENTS

On 5th April 2008 Stuart, who was 24 at the time, broke his neck, whilst playing rugby for Hammersmith & Fulham RFC’s Second XV
in an end of season friendly against Hampstead at Hurlingham Park, Fulham, London. As a result of the injury Stuart is paralysed from the neck down, is on a ventilator and needs nursing care 24 hours a day. In spite of this Stuart is remarkably positive and is looking forward to the future, especially moving into his own flat, which he plans to do do shortly.

Stuart was playing fly half during the game when his accident happened and the injury, which is extremely rare, occurred in open play.

MESSAGE FROM STUART MANGAN The Give 2 for Stu Campaign launched and patroned by Jason Leonard was an amazingly novel idea and has turned out to be a great success. I'd like to thank Jason and Hammersmith & Fulham Rugby Football Club for all they've done, but most of all I'd like to thank all those Clubs and Club Members who have donated so generously to my Appeal. Please keep spreading the word!
