Jumpers worn for disease awareness
The Umina Beach Rugby League Club first grade side wore commemorative jumpers onto the field on June 25 and 26 to raise awareness and much needed funds for motor neurone disease treatment.
The money raised will go to supporting ongoing stem cell replacement therapy for local resident Mr Andrew Macintosh, who was diagnosed with the disease last year.
It will also help provide the specialised equipment needed for him to partake in everyday activities.
The club has so far handed a cheque to Andrew for $1500.
The club still have a number of jumpers available for purchase.
