On Saturday 13th June, during the course of the charity Family fun run at the club, our friend and much-loved rugby parent Mark Austin became unwell. Despite the heroic efforts of our on-site medical team, paramedics and the Air Ambulance medics he sadly passed away.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Mark’s family and friends at this difficult time.
We are supporting them in any way we can, whilst respecting their request to give them the privacy they need to grieve as a family, as they come to terms with this devastating news.
As a club we know community is everything. We will undoubtedly support each other through this, however if anyone feels they, or anyone they know, may benefit from further professional support this can be obtained through the charity Cruse Bereavement Support (cruse.org.uk).
