Jake Burton, from Long Sutton Cricket Club, lost his Grandad at the back end of 2020, having suffered with Dementia for the last 5 years of his life.
Some of his fondest memories with his Grandad were associated with their love of cricket. Therefore cricket became the ideal starting place for a fundraising idea.
After much thought Runs 4 Research was created. A donation that builds up over the season with the donation at the end.
It's just 5p per run and 50p per wicket, meaning that by September a nice donation will have been built but also not so significant that players feel unduly out of pocket.
We think this is a fantastic fundraising idea for Alzheimer’s/Dementia research aimed at club cricketers and look forward to seeing all our Badgers players signing up during the 2021 season!
So get involved everyone.
