Friday 6th. July,
2007 A Cornish Pirate came to
the aid of 'Vitalise Churchtown' last week, a centre that provides essential services
for disabled people. Adrian
Edwards, team manager of Cornwall's leading rugby side, took time out from making
arrangements for the team's pre-season friendlies against Leicester Tigers and
Gwent Dragons to act as a judge of the centre's free holiday offer. The
offer was open to young people with disabilities, who could be nominated by family,
friends, teachers, classmates and others for the chance to win a week's all-inclusive
free holiday at Vitalise Churchtown in Lanlivery. Adrian
helped select the winner, who will be announced soon and will join other young
people for a fun-filled week of activities at the centre during August. After
a tour of Vitalise Churchtown , Adrian enthused: "It's absolutely amazing.
I didn't realise this place was here, it a fantastic facility that provides lots
of opportunities to numerous people. Adults and children can come here and take
part in activities they might not normally have access to - zip wires, climbing
walls and activity trails which are all accessible for wheelchairs. The
staff here are all really enthusiastic and the winner of this holiday is going
to have a fantastic time!" Before leaving, Adrian also
presented a Cornish Pirates rugby shirt and ball to Vitalise Churchtown manager
Gabbie Robinson. |
