It’s Mr Mo…tivator!!


Dyls pulls it off...again! 

For the 2nd consecutive year, Northampton Saints captain, Dylan Hartley, has become the ‘Man of the Mo … ment’; spearheading the most successful Movember campaign of the Aviva Premiership Rugby camp and raising £28,326 with his #FrontMoUnion

Ranking 4th on the UK national leader board for Movember team fundraising, it is certainly an achievement to be pleased with and proud of and of course he had help from all quarters along the way.

One person in particular springs to mind; 12 year old William Heath of Northampton was tireless in his creativity for the cause and as well as being #FrontMoUnion top fundraiser, has made the national newspapers coupled with an appearance on ‘Rugby Tonight’ on BT Sport.


William pictured with his granddad, Robin Wickham, who sadly died of pancreatic cancer in February. William was determined to raise money for the campaign in honour of his granddad.

The fact he was too young to grow his own ‘tache was no deterrent and he demonstrated what an advantage it could be. Here are some shots demonstrating the fun he had and gave to others, raising funds in memory of the man he was so close to.
 










‘My Motivation
In February my Pappa died, I really miss him and want to do something good to help people. I celebrate my 12th Birthday on the first day of Movember. I am going to "man up" and help to change the face of men's health. I accept that at the age of 12 growing my first Mo could be a problem - but I have a plan! ‘
