Leicester Tigers supporters are closing in on the £1,000 mark ahead of club mascot Welford's London Marathon run attempt - but we need your help to hit the £25,000 target. 

All money raised will go towards providing a dedicated member of staff responsible for the delivery and growth of the Leicester Tigers Foundation SEND programmes, covering school and education sessions, outreach and community support within the disabled community, alongside the support of the Leicester Tigers Wheelchair Rugby team.

With a vision to remove barriers and create opportunities for people with special educational needs and disabilities, Welford will take on the world-renowned race on Sunday, October 3.

Welford recently joined members of the Leicester Tigers Wheelchair Rugby team for a training session.
