Newquay Hornets to welcome amputee fundraiser nearing the end of national challenge

Newquay Hornets are holding a special girls' rugby training session to welcome Lexi Chambers, who is travelling by wheelchair from John O'Groats to Land’s End.

The event tonight (Tuesday 8th October) will mark one of the final stops in her epic charity challenge.

Lexi, a keen rugby player, Army veteran and former NHS nurse, had a below knee leg amputation three years ago due to chronic pain conditions, including Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. She is raising funds for the Aaron Lewis Foundation and The Exeter Chiefs Foundation.

The training session will take place at Newquay Sports Centre from 5:50 pm to 8:30 pm and is a great chance to learn more about rugby while supporting Lexi’s cause.
