Cape Town - The Blue Bulls will play with
the J9 Foundation's logo on their sleeve to help create awareness for Motor Neuron Disease (MND) in their pre-Super Rugby friendly against English side Saracens on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 17:00 SA time.
The
foundation, named after former Bulls and Springbok legend, Joost van der Westhuizen,
is doing great work to create awareness for Motor Neuron Disease.
Claire Kaye-Grobler, from the J9 Foundation: “Events like the up
coming friendly game between Saracens and the Blue Bulls are absolutely
crucial in the global fight against MND, this disease is an otherwise forgotten
about disease with no cure and no cause, it therefore discriminates against no
one and we thus need people to stand up now and push for researchers to find a
cure or cause and this will only happen with awareness.”
