Ready, Setaro, Go!

Ready, Setaro, Go!

With club members, players, pundits and former superstars around Wales racking up the miles for charity during lockdown the prize for the most ambitious fundraising campaign could have been won by Whitland Rugby Club. 

The Borderers, this week, started with a target of collectively running or walking 404 miles a day for seven days which, if completed, would give them a grand total of 2,828 miles. 


The good news is they smashed their target on day one, with 603 miles logged for the day and repeated the feat on day two with a ‘running total’ of over 1300 miles and counting – and a whopping £7,954 already raised – by players throughout the club, from the first XV to Whitland Ladies and all of the junior teams.

Some Whitland ‘old boys’ have also pitched in with former players Mike Phillips and Aled Davies pledging to notch up five miles a day of their own during thier daily exercise hours and Ken Owens joined both of them in sending in messages of support on social media. 

It’s a huge effort all for Laura Setaro, the wife of club player, stalwart and coach Nico and mum of Lili, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 26, in December 2019. 

Laura is currently undergoing treatment and it is hoped that she will very soon be on the road to recovery, but with the current strain that our National Health Service is under the club thought it only right to send a little gratitude their way. 

All money raised is going to the CoppaFeel, breast cancer awareness, and Hywel Dda Health Charities (Find out more and donate here)
