As many of you will know, some time club ball boy (and we're sure, future 1st XV star), Max Bowman is raising money to take part in the trip of a lifetime to help build a school in Kenya, where in rural areas around 70% of people are living below the poverty line and access to proper sanitation, clean drinking water, healthcare and an education are often limited or non-existent.

Max, and his father (club committee member) Alex would like to thank all those who have supported Max with donations thus far, including sponsoring him to the tune of £500 to climb Ben Nevis last week, which he achieved in a time of 6 hours. (Dad Alex strolling/panting up in a more leisurely 7.5 hours!)

You can follow Max's fundraising campaign, and his trip to Kenya at his website where you'll also find details of how to donate and support his upcoming events, including raffle.

You can also email Max for further details of sponsorship, and to wish him well.

Well done from everyone at Leith Rugby Max!
